“With a love for the dance of syntax and a delight in the polyphony of dictions both high and low, Dennigan springs onto the contemporary poetry stage with a fresh original style. Her poetry is an exuberant celebration of language and insight.”
—Mark Jarman, author of Epistles

“A powerfully original poet—one whose idiosyncratic power could not be learned or taught.”—Alice Fulton

“Dennigan’s poems are deliciously specific in their strangeness: her Saint Mary ‘cries Type O blood from her left eye.’ This is an exuberantly unpredictable debut.”
—Matthea Harvey

“Dennigan’s poems are reckless, self-generating fantasies which retain the high stakes of the experiential world. She gets the big go-ahead to lead her poetic generation back into the world, to charge and change it with satire, vision and hope.” —Tony Hoagland
