‘finely crafted, wide-ranging and multifaceted’

‘memory, girlhood, motherhood and family are each acutely observed and explored through a feminist lens’

‘written with humour and relatability’

‘just under the surface of Gooda’s poetry there is always a sting of emotion that resonates beyond an individual’s history’

‘the poems left me moved, uplifted and sometimes unseated by my own memories’   

‘vibrant, original and full of impact’

‘written with a touch of domestic noir’ and frequently chilling twists in the endings’

‘a skilful blend of the present day with myths, biblical references, fairy tales, fables and history’
