[1] Her poetry has appeared in Drunken boat,[3] Pank,[4] Rattle,[5] The Rumpus, North American Review,[6] and Solstice.

[10][11] The book is described by Kenji Liu in Rumpus as masterful, maintaining freshness despite focusing tightly on a single theme, and powerfully inventive.

He calls it "a collection of struggle, existential crises, spiritual unrest, and violence that is expressed with bold sentimentality and heart-wrenching beauty.

[14] The poet Rachel Mennies, reviewing the book in Pank magazine, compares Leigh's use of sisters, father and mother characters to ancient Greek mythology, writing that the figures are built "to the scale of myth throughout".

She calls it a "searing debut about the trauma of memory",[10] finding the poet's lyricism "refreshingly surreal, mystical, and grounded in the body.

[10] A poem, "Recognizing Lightning", from the book has been included in Amorak Huey and W. Todd Kaneko's Poetry, A Writer's Guide and Anthology, Bloomsbury, 2018, in the "Ars Poetica" section.
