Past Praise for Aimee Herman
"Particular and fierce . . . Much like the heartfelt narratives of Lidia Yuknavitch's novels, but Herman's pieces are schisms of a form slowly coming together. By body, by light, by night." -Jacket 2
"This is re-wiring where it counts: below the lexicon. Below the public-private register." -Bhanu Kapil, author, Ban et Banlieue
"The work done in this book is desperately necessary. The next time someone grumbles about the uselessness of poetry, put these poems in their hands." -Rain Taxi
"The grace, honesty, and bravery with which [Herman] addresses issues that many won't touch with a ten-foot pole will shake you to the core." -Blotterature
"A visceral, wide eyed, queer movement that creates 'sturdy retinas' in those of us who participate." J/J Hastain, author Identity Collages
"Aimee Herman celebrates and contradicts our expectations in her disturbing juxtapositions of unexpected images." -Maureen Owen, author, Erosion's Pull
"[Herman's] words are a recipe for seeing differently." -Daphne Gottlieb, author, Pretty Much Dead
