Reviews "I'm amazed by When I say I believe women.... It feels so new and necessary." (Lisa Robertson) "There is an urgency in Emily ../../files/critchley's poetry that puts me in way of Rich and Grahn among many other poetic foremothers' which is unique and unafraid, with a serious cutting edge, in a time of great ineptitude, which challenges to be tempered." (Susana Gardner)
