Ali Graham, Wreathing
 
Wreathing is alive with fresh possibilities for the sonnet form. The extensive use of prepositions shows the ways in which queerness repositions subjects with respect to one another. These poems ask the reader to follow them past the familiar and it is worthwhile to do. Graham disrupts the complacency of the cis heteronormative tradition metrically and gifts the reader a greater appreciation for the complexity of human networks. 
— Julia Rose Lewis
 
I love Wreathing, it’s my favourite way to travel. Its density entraps nobody; there is no full stop. The sonnets spill into one another and flip themselves over, knocking against undefinable things. Reading them was being ‘borne / horselessly awry’ through a long valley of gold-flecked apple orchards, pulled to the point of saying something tender and mirrorish like ‘I love Wreathing, it’s my favourite way to travel’.
— Kat Addis
