“Press’s Spine displays a poet serious about her craft. ”
— Books in Canada

“[Press’s] ultra-clear diction and satirical reading-twixt-lines recall Margaret Atwood, but Press has more whimsy and less menace.” — George Elliott Clarke, Halifax Chronicle-Herald

“Throughout the collection, Press expresses something of the complicated relationship with books that every reader experiences – namely, that the need to read is always shaded by the suspicion that reading is simply another form of escape from living.” — Quill & Quire
