"This whip-smart collection is a playful celebration of feminine power."
Publisher's Weekly
"Goddam funny ... a clinic in irony. What a beautiful book."
Ross Gay
"With the verve of Alice Fulton and the panache of Gerald Stern, Sysko keens into the canon, a welcome voice. Sing, indeed, heavenly muse."

"With electric nerve, L.J. Sysko's savvy and often comic poems careen through American pop culture and the suburban world that infantalizes and traps women. Sysko fixes her gaze on adolescent girls and their trajectory into selfhooda path that takes them through sexual shame and erasure, and then, as they age, into defiance."
