George Elliott Clarke says of Spine:
"[Press's] ultra-clear diction and satirical reading-twixt-lines recall
Margaret Atwood, but Press has more whimsy and less menace." (Halifax Chronicle
Herald)
Spine has been shortlisted by the League of Canadian
Poets for the Pat Lowther Memorial Award
for the best book of poetry in the past year by a Canadian woman.
