'Girls Like Me, the first collection of poetry from Teri Louise Kelly, showcases the work of an author whose life has been lived both within, and beyond, the borders of the genetic binary system. Her book is simultaneously coy, overt, reflective and sentimental. Featuring collaborative works with four of Adelaide's leading poets, Girls Like Me is a eulogy to fifty years of having to suck in oxygen, but also an unequivocal declaration of independence from an independent entity still kicking after all those strange years.'
