"Written in lyrical shreds, each page is complete unto itself. The Lily Book's textures, suggestiveness, and physicality are remarkable, but the lyric is given further authority by an interruptive method that introduces uncertainty and inconclusion. In this way, Valerie Coulton brings into agreement the lyrical and the experimental"

--Paul Hoover
