Lau's work lurches off the page and seizes your hand like an old friend that cannot wait to catch up with you; you learn of the speaker's romantic escapades, their family, their hurts old and new. Reading this collection makes you feel reached out to, and that is no small feat in a time everything and everyone can seem very, very far away. -- Canthius Magazine Ripe with intention and embroidered with the tiny pinpricks of pain, her language, the one she discovers alone in the dark, where we have all been left for so long, is naked, free of ballast as a sinking ship that does not sink but sails into the next sunrise, truth. -- The Ormsby Review Lau plays expertly in the messy gray between forms and realities, between languages and cultures. Through these juxtapositions we see what it's like to live intersectionality: the beauty and the struggles. It is in this space between the black and white that the collection makes its home. -- PRISM International
