"Field’s frequently shifting scenes evoke Alice Notley, Anne
Carson, and James Joyce."
*Publishers Weekly*
"Thalia Field’s curiosity and probe are infectious, tantalizing,
irrepressible. She is one of our most startling, original younger
writers."
*Anne Waldman*
"Between the inward tension of the point and the outward push of
the line, Thalia Field maps a force field of relations, power
games, shifting configurations, in a language both cool and
intense, and with a surveyor’s precision."
*Rosmarie Waldrop*
"A hybrid of essayistic fragments and poetic lines exploring the
toxic relationship between humans and the animal world by way of
myth, metaphor and science: 'the forests have changed, the
temperatures, / whole species gone north or south.'"
*New York Times*
"Field draws from a variety of sources — scientific, historical,
philosophical — to create a kind of text collage that nonetheless
moves from point to point. Her sense of humor is witty and
snarky....Field lands many a critical body blow to speciesism."
*Carl Little - Hyperallergic*
"Thalia Field does not settle on final answers but draws us into
inquiries that unsettle our definitions. She is ignited by nature
and the wild; she does not recoil from repelling us with factual
talk; her book intends to move us to thoughtful action by
destabilizing us with art."
*Anakana Schofield - Bookpost*
