‘Some psychoanalysts believe that after a time, the work condenses or crystallises to such a degree that analysis comes close to both lyric or verse and a final silence. Eva Birch’s poems are both poignant and deeply funny, showing the twists and turns of transference on the way to ending her psychoanalysis.’

—Jamieson Webster
