Jamie does it very well: Ms Joni Mitchell before "Hejira": a woman's storm rising to the surface, and thrashing a sea's shore.... We do need it: and always will; a male, perhaps i, would seek deep understanding/control, but Jamie! these stark catharsis' hunt you down beyond all mirrors: beyond the saviour's influence, the need to forgive/forget, and again my femme-male is at a meeting with "Death" sitting on the fence where the graveyard hides from the street... ....Learnt to love u, Jamie, like i loved joni mitchell.... Pain/bread

The poems discuss how personal history bleeds into the present, and how we can move in the present, regardless of our past. Though the poems discuss pain, the resulting emotion is freedom, the freedom to move on, and love again. Thank you for writing these tender pieces! Dead in Rome

After being thoroughly shocked by the true depth of the poetry and the idea that this woman touched the very face of night and was able to express it so, I had to re-read the bits she had laid out in her preview. Looking between the lines I was surprised to find a kind of quiet darkness lingering there, something waiting to be disturbed amongst the ashes fallen at her feet. The presentation is wonderfully dry, in that it will not deter your focus from the heart of the matter, so long as you are willing to read what is and isn't branded in ink. I would think anyone could be both disturbed and entranced by the eidolon Jamie has presented in her latest book. Haunting

You truly have a talent for making the reader feel as though they are the ones your poetry is written about. Wonderfully done! Wow…

It's good to read some poetry that's not just a rehash of work seen a thousand times before. Well done! Original and Creative
