"Lorig’s work takes belief. One has to believe it to read it. These poems speak into a world where they expect not to be believed, but speak as if they are believed. This is the magic — and courageousness — of their speech act."

"It is very pleasurable to read something that risks: something: in almost every line. And contrapuntal image. I am honored to write in support of this writing, which seems to pour with violence from the soul." -Bhanu Kapil
"101 years later, Carrie Lorig has usurped [Djuna] Barnes’s title to expose the contemporary repulsive woman: she is a thinker, a feeler, a poet. She is intellectual emotion, relentlessly inquisitive and just plain brutal."
-Lily Hoang
"Essentially every line of Carrie Lorig's interstellar nods. is a train made of skin absolutely Anna Karenina-ing all over you." -Abe Smith
"What is a book but a burst of weeping that catches fire?"

-Dalton Day
"Sturm and Lorig’s “Labor Day” is as much workers’ ode and formal spasm, as the Ted Berrigan/Anne Waldman “Memorial Day” collaboration to which it pays homage is elegiac and ghosted."
