'Anna Freeman's work makes me feel like I made a new friend in a warm, leaning, drunk heart-to-heart that left my cheeks sore from laughing and my neck aching from all the nodding. She twists up the awkward, the confusing and the painful, into a slick balloon animal, escaping zoos; makes me wanna spill my guts, hand her my secret side, just to see what treasures she can make from the vulnerability.' - Buddy Wakefield; 'Anna Freeman is bright, brilliant and brutally honest, these poems beautifully illustrate the modern woman in all of her mess and glory.' - Salena Godden
