"The poems in Resistance do more than resist: they testify and bear witness, grieve and lament, howl and spark A deeply moving and urgently necessary collection." Lisa Richter , author of Closer to Where We Began
"A monument to defiance against a terrible, pervasive darkness, demanding our attention and action." Nisha Patel , author of Limited Success
" Resistance claims poetry is essential to processing pain . . . . and these voices can seek to claim safety back through 'resilience and resistance.'" Micheline Maylor , author of Little Wildheart
"Seventy-eight soul-shattering voices that refuse to be silenced or ashamed. Resistance provides the megaphone." Jennifer Musial , New Jersey City University
"Injustice concerning sexual assault cannot be underestimated: Resistance should be required reading for all Canadian legislators." Patricia Fell , Artistic Director, Windsor Feminist Theatre
