"Richter's first book traces an intimate diaspora... These are
pieces of young mid-life when possibly a deeper consciousness of
death and history twins with continued and reconfigured
desires."
--Catherine Owen, Marrrow Reviews
"The poet admits rebellion... She is 'Taking Stock' of ghosts
without stories... here are allusions to Robertson Davies' Fifth
Business and graffiti in Kensington Market; Where the Wild Things
Are, poetry homage based on Evelyn Lau, Kate Braid, Theodore
Roethke."
--Anne Burke, poets.ca
