About Alice in Winterland:

"These Alisa poems give Julie Egdell the means of exploring her life beyond the North-East, poems sent back as postcards from the edge of language, from economic and cultural exile, examining language and the discourses of the self through geographic shift and the forbidden look over the shoulder."
—Bob Beagrie

"an unflinching writer with an unnervingly clear eye for the telling detail or unsettling truth that digs under the surface of the everyday, her willingness to journey to the edges of both domestic and on-the-road experiences and her toughness with language has given her an original voice — female, imaginative, erudite but with working class authenticity that really makes for poetry with an edge. She is a significant poet."
—Andy Willoughby
