On short stories: "There is a calm and steadiness to this narrative, from the voice, the collective characters, and even the barren world. 'Losing Count' is full of quiet imagination, a fresh take on a classic story." ― Cristy Crutchfield, Cara Parravani Award, Honorable Mention, 2020
"I greatly enjoyed 'We Might Be Gods' for its inventiveness and its daring, both in conception and on the level of line. Its fabulist premise plumbs the central mystery of love and attraction while always maintaining a convincing attention to world-building. Like so many great stories 'We Might Be Gods' echoes the familiar while also somehow managing to feel wholly new, to be forming itself sui generis." ― Hasanthika Sirisena, Cara Parravani Award, Honorable Mention, 2021
On 21|19: "Displaying a sophisticated sense of poetics as well as a good grasp of history and its implications for the present moment... Alexandra Manglis and Kristen Case have done a remarkable job of bringing together such a challenging collection." ―Harvard Review, 2019
"[These essays] plumb the traditional American canon―and significant texts on its periphery―to contend with the questions of national ethos and identity that resound today. Editors Kristen Case and Alexandra Manglis suggest the ways poetry might be both agitator and balm in times of social crisis, as thirteen poets write about topics such as Poe and race, gun violence, and the Black pastoral." ―Poets & Writers, 2019
