"Alanna McArdle's poetics carves for itself a place between insouciant wit and the stingingly vulnerable. It claims agency and reclaims symbolic space over the terrible, the oppressive, by biting down hard on the articulate nerve of the thing. I'm excited by this pamphlet, and so so glad it exists." - Wayne Holloway-Smith
