Críticas:

"Through 15 volumes of poetry, [Elizabeth Smither] has cultivated a voice and a poetic stance that are unique in New Zealand literature." --Hugh Roberts, New Zealand Listener "[Elizabeth Smither's] latest collection, The Year of Adverbs, shows us the same high wit, supple intelligence, and attentive ear that characterizes her earlier works. This is work that is a pleasure to read." -- Hugh Roberts, New Zealand Books "[Elizabeth Smither] has written some of the best short lyrics ever produced in this country." --Gregory O'Brien, New Zealand Listener

Reseña del editor:

A repository for a personal collection of quotations, scraps, pensees, and poems, this compilation offers keen insight into the influences and inspirations of a writer, namely Elizabeth Smither. There are no platitudes or sententious maxims here; instead, these sometimes pensive sometimes screamingly funny quotations range from Queer Eye for the Straight Guy to Elizabeth Bennet, from Charles Simic to Montaigne, and from Monty Python to Henry James. Witty and intriguing, this record also demonstrates the results of the creative process by including Smither's own work.
