'Beginning with her childhood and taking us on a sensory and
emotive journey through adolescence and onwards to her role as a
wife and mother, Julia’s poems sparkle with wit, intrigue and
richly captivating imagery. ' - Caitlin Miller, Irisi Magazine
"In such images, Bird’s poetry shows how artwork is not separate to
everyday life, but entwined with it – and, moreover, bound up with
its transience: in these poems, omelettes, snowmen, marrows are all
short-lived moments of artistic beauty. " - Jonathan Taylor,
Everybody's Reviewing
"This deftly composed poem sequence, paired with Anna Vaivare’s
vibrant illustrations, moves through the life of a female artist
during the early part of the twentieth century. Beginning from age
nine, towards and past the point where the unnamed artist has a
child of her own, Now You Can Look has a sharp, immediate quality
which pulls you firmly into a life which both did and did not exist
– vanished, imagined, or perhaps something else." PBS Bulletin
