"​If I were to construct my own personal 2012 list... such a list would undoubtedly include Cat Conway’s Static Cling. ... I can hear her voice bursting from the page. This is vibrant, irreverent, exciting and funny poetry." – Claire Trévien, author of The Shipwrecked House and Astéronymes

"Conway’s poems are at their best when they acknowledge the complexity of relationships and of the humans who undertake them. ... The speaker’s desire in “The Ghost Position” to “make him who I wanted him to be”, to “mold him,/chew papier-mâché from his letters […]/give him back his language” is not unviolent but does reflect the difficulty present in life and in loving others, and the relation between love, desire, and violence." – Éireann Lorsung for Sabotage Reviews
