JOELLE TAYLOR "Ruling with a rod of irony, Cathi Rae is a contemporary spoken word icon". LYDIA TOWSEY "Cathi Rae's is a rare talent. She writes with a deft touch and elegant slight of mercurial hand to balance the personal and public, lyrical and political, funny and heart-breaking narrative, open and many shades of in-between. Her poems are detailed, clear eyed, beautiful and necessary. The kind you're glad to have found and want to tell your friends about".
