By Emily Critchley

' Emily Critchley] has incorporated influences from popular culture and from a more street-wise feminist critique. Her poetry ... is combative, intellectual and probing but this seems tempered by an upbeat and more popular sense of engagement, which makes her unusual and interesting ...] a genuine form of public poetry, which can embrace both pleasure and critique without being either chic posturing or a sell-out to the market, such as it exists within poetry publishing The thing I most enjoy about Critchley's poetry is the way in which she manages to suggest an ongoing sense of 'self-dialogue' within her writing. Whether she's talking about love ...] or politics or art or academic work, there's always an inner-dialogue going on, a self-assertiveness questioned in the light of a relationship to the 'public sphere'.' --Steve Spence
