"It's brilliantly witty and biting, cutting to the core of perceptions of femininity." Sam Marlowe, The London Times, 3/17/08

"It vividly dramatises a deep American cultural divide that may yet determine this year's presidential race." Michael Billington, The Guardian, 3/17/08
 

"This poem, Nora, is the most passionate cry for freedom that has come out of this night we're stuck in. Unfortunately you were too busy to listen to it . . ."
