“Phillips’ pharynx-snagged shards of snarling lyricism are webbed with fractured isopleths of narrative prose. Its clammy alchemy is hushed and muscular, the molten rustle of a feral mammal heart.” Steve Hitchins.<\/p>\n

“Dense and elliptical in its textures, plunging from the phrasal unit to the micro-level of word and vocable, syllables and phonemes teased apart, messed with, then back to the macro-level, again unsignalled and unprepared-for. The verbal lens, as it were, flexing madly, oscillating between focus at angstr\u00f6m and then galactic levels. \u201cShe stood on the borders of personalities\u201d, as she says at one point and it makes for a heady, macaronic brew.” John Goodby.<\/p>\n
