‘Brit's work is a music of regret. What I see in it is a special kind of Generation X melancholy, but pulled through centuries of European culture, with the ghosts of Baroque music and Symbolist painting in it— an American parking lot seen through the veil of a Puvis de Chavannes painting, and tears. She is absolutely my favourite American poet of now.’

—Robert Montgomery, Artist, Poet

‘Brit Parks writes with a magic luminosity. The heart of her words are worn and unexpected. They fill the page like a meteor shower, some long dead, some searching for future light, all set on fire.’
