Recenzii
By turns funny, esoteric, and absurdist, Flemish is also positively enthralling, an energetic paean to language, the object, and the history of language and of objects. —Seth Abramson, Huffington Post
Knox dresses her speakers and her cacophony of subjects (sister, otters, Dickinson, Mary Wesley) in whatever clothes history hands them (or she conjures up), letting them act out their roles on a spindle of wordplay and pathos. —Publishers Weekly

"Her poems invite the more intellectual emotions: bemusement, the breathlessness of newborn understanding."—The Village Voice
