"Valzyhna Mort . . . can justly be described as a risen star of the international poetry world. Her poems have something of the incantatory quality of poets such as Dylan Thomas or Allen Ginsberg. . . . She is a true original."-Cuirt International Festival of Literature
"[T]he searing work of Valzhyna Mort . . . dazzled all who were fortunate to hear her [and] to be battered by the moods of the Belarus language which she is passionately battling to save from obscurity."-"The Irish Times"

"This book is not pretty. Very little pattern to the page, though what really gets my goat is the clumsiness of her line stops. I think this is the single biggest problem with youngish poets who never concern themselves with the technical side of composition and write purely from the heart; they don't revise anything that is "truly felt." Still, she's got potential. So long as the critics don't murder her with a big pillow-case of acclaim."
"Valzyhna Mort's poems are printed in both Belorussian and English in this volume. Interesting poems; though not entirely to my taste, I can admire the skill with which she writes. The book cover claims that Ms. Mort is well-known in Europe for her reading style. I saw her read in February and mostly her reading style scared the bejezus out of me -- very dark!"
