Buzz Review: Breaking a Mare and Bathing on the Roof

Two wonderful reviews up on Buzz for Breaking a Mare and Bathing on the Roof, thanks Mab Jones!

'Visceral and unflinching, Christina Thatcher’s exploration of girlhood, silence, and the raw edges of rural life is powerfully affecting... The poet’s unflinching gaze and lyrical prowess give these poems flint and flame: their stories are shaped by adversity, but lit up by insight.' – On Christina Thatcher's Breaking a Mare

'Tracey Rhys’ debut collection is a bold and evocative reimagining of the Biblical character of Bathsheba, transforming her with intelligence and imagination into an everywoman navigating the complexities of modern life... As well as offering up a fascinating exploration of femininity, power, and identity, it is Rhys’ adept use of language and innovative perspectives that make this collection, for me, a standout.' – On Tracey Rhys's Bathing on the Roof
