Dmetri Kakmi, in his review of this book (Australian Poetry Journal, April 2015) writes: “Wise and shrewd, these are mature, contemplative works. There is a discernment and level of engagement with form and subject that immediately captivates ... it is a quiet, pensive book; and while it reflects on universal questions, it also speaks to individuals caught between cultures and states of mind. This element brings a welcome tension. Costi does not take the easy way, pushing boundaries and challenging preconceptions about womanhood and ethnicity, even as she yields to nostalgia.”
