‘It’s notable that so many of the ‘respondent’ writers include those who excel in both prose and poetry themselves, making this whole collection less an exercise in translations across forms, and more a showcase of daring and delight — a myriad of conversations between words, meanings, and image.’

‘The world of Kick The Latch is one of poverty, gender-based violence, cruel capitalism; and also friendship, and professional pride, and compassion. It’s all utterly immersive in its physicality, each sentence as firm and hard-working as the narrator,’

‘Johanne Lykke Holm has created here a dizzying classic, full of bite and fear and sumptuous pleasures.’

‘This is a moving and intelligent collection that reminds us that love and kindness can look like many things: their consequences stretching far and wide.’

‘The Cellist is an immersive portrait of an intriguing character; an ode to the complex creation of an artist.’
