Louise Bak’s work is life through a kaleidoscope: fragments of psyche, fragments of other representations, tie-dyed and spin-dried; it is a dizzying maze and a set of spiky shards, paradoxically reassuring us that all our irrationalities are shared, are normal. -RUSSEL SMITH
Louise Bak’s Hail is a relentless and uncompromising as she is. Among Canada’s experimental poets, she is unique, because her concentration is at once perfect and disorienting. She takes you to a world that is post-logical and asyntactical, but somehow, fully realized and fully inhabited. -BRIAN FAWCETT
Tumbling like blueberries quickly poured into a wooden bowl. –PHILLIP BARKER
