Review
"The book begins with early memories of raging against a system of belief and custom that was supposed to be unquestionable. The poems are written in an unassuming lower case, in punctuationless, out of breath tirades, the run-on flow of someone flooded with words. Taboo words, the necessity to speak the unspeakable, to shout the unthinkable."- Poetry Canada Chronicle"There are surrealistic and visionary moments in these poems. Predominantly, however, they are down-to-earth, rooted in a woman's body and a prairie landscape."- John Oughton, Books in Canada"Questions i asked my mother is an important first book....Brandt deserves a wide audience"- Prairie Fire Review of BooksSecrets "spill onto the page in an irresistible torrent of detail, leading to an ever expanding inner world of associations. Brandt's writing is a flowing stream of consciousness, drawing its power from the effects of accumulation and resonance."- Journal of Canadian Poetry"This is finely crafted rage."- Border Crossings
