- Love Me True, an anthology of essays and poems by Canadian writers on love and marriage, provides ample evidence of what extraordinary writers Canada has produced. Here are forty-seven voices writing sensitively about human relationships, free of cant, cliché, or false sentimentality—often with humour and irony, but also (in a few cases) with understandable spite and rancour. — Graham Nicol Forst, Canadian Literature
- Everything Rustles is a high-literary version of Nora Ephron’s I Feel Bad About My Neck. These are essays that require close attention, which twist and turn away from where you think they’ll go. Not easy reading, but reading that is rich and rewarding. These stories of what Jane Silcott thinks about things deliver a vivid perspective of the world and life itself, and they’re a celebration of strength, wonder and learning. — Kerry Clare, Pickle Me This
- In Jane Silcott's first collection of essays, Everything Rustles, the short memoir form thrives . . . With essays that come back to the idea of committed love, like the love between a mother and child, or a writer and language, or a middle-aged woman and her aging body, Silcott achieves [Joan] Didion's "point" of focussing on the self's experience with eloquence and wit. —Taryn Hubbard, Room Magazine
