"Dahlin has a genius for voice . . . Dahlins speakers are overheard in the way a stage whisper is 'overheard,' or in the way of that certain brand of flirtation where one says something to a person beside the love object, hoping the beloved will know youre speaking to or about them." Lindsay Choi, The Poetry Project Newsletter
"Dahlin traverses sapphic lust-spaces and invisible geographies of yearning, positioning the reader within the force-of-the-yearn. Some of these invisible geographies trace the floral planes and seas Sappho might have seen, oceansides, triangles, the space between lovers on the phone; others are more groundedNew York, Oakland, the streets of Berkeley, school, the Midwest, the airport . . . and, most crucially, the lesbian potential for gender expansion." Maura Modeya, Annulet

Pay attention to Sophia Dahlin: this collection really is something glorious to behold."rob mclennan Sophia Dahlin's language and sweetly metered pacing perfectly anticipates my feelings, surprising me with how much earnestness I have preserved. Nora Treatbaby
Glove Money celebrates friends and lovers, inventing a queer American pastoral whose Sapphic brilliance and subversion lie in just how easily the misbehaved and warmly weird go down. Jennifer Soong
I find Sophia Dahlins poetry to be gentle yet subtly jarring. Her poems split images away from context, letting them add up to something fresh, snappy, delightful. Judy Grahn
