" Quiet Night Think is a stunning work. Gillian Sze has 'the acrobatic ear' and a generous mind. To be a mother, a daughter, a writer, a self -- through reflection and poetry, essay and remembrance, these fragile threads carry one another in profound, transporting ways. I know I will return to this extraordinary book again and again." -- Madeleine Thien, author of Do Not Say We Have Nothing "Sze draws on emotion-imbued imagery from nature, daily observations and intellectual investigations, punctuated by intimate, often heartrending glimmers that captivate all the way to the book's end." -- Montreal Review of Books "There is a lot of learning to be had from Quiet Night Think . Sze offers valuable observations and methods of practicing writing in her essays, and then presents the results of those in her poems. The way the essays and poems speak to each other in this collection is stunning.

" -- The Fiddlehead "Sze's meditations are delicate, thoughtful and raw, articulating the complex experiences and emotions around new motherhood." -- Rob Mclennan's blog " Quiet Night Think by Gillian Sze is a collection of finely observed poems and invitingly associative essays, in which Sze muses on language, translation, and individual words." -- Poetry Foundation.
