Holly Lyn Walrath

". . . an intersection between ethereal loftiness, humorous speculation, and poignant consideration. . . a collection of poetry and images that encourage readers to be more than they perceive themselves to be."
--VIDA: Women in the Literary Arts

"Unearths truths about femininity which beg to be explored."
--MookyChick

"Suggests an intelligence that retaliates through showing the beauty, complexity, and tragedy of modern womanhood -- a butterfly that can haul 40 times its own weight seems an apt metaphor for the unifying strength and delicacy of femininity we still struggle with."
--The Coil

"Seductive, soft to the touch, yet stabbing."
--Rag Queen Periodical
