Emily Pohl-Weary is "an unconventional and modern-day hero to many young female writers."
Halifax Herald/Young People's Press
"The 20-something slackers in Pohl-Weary's 'Dangerous Places' are so real you'd swear they're the roommates you've yawned groggily at over breakfast in a student hovel."
NOW Magazine
"One of the hardest-working women in the Canadian lit underground."
Montreal Hour
"Way more Bikini Kill than Ani Difranco, and in all the right ways."
