'Alice’s inaugural collection exposes a voice that is questioning yet confident and unafraid. It is a voice that invites readers into a world influenced by occult and angels, which juxtaposes reality with imagination and peppers clubbing scenes with philosophy. It explores the psychology of self within a confusing universe of other existences.... The collection is full of quips such as ‘a promise demands your face’. There are no words wasted throughout. All in all, this is a multidimensional, multimedia collection. It’s a journey of karma, an impressive first collection, a distinct voice in a distinctive cover.' Carol Thistlethwaite: Black Market Review
'Alice Lenkiewicz's inaugural collection of poems, Men Hate Blondes, is a tight exploration of the political as seen through the personal. Her frequent line enjambments, startling images and sometimes deceptively nonsensical-seeming word combinations will make this book a challenge for some readers, but what makes these poems worth reading is the author's refreshing trust in her audience, that they do not need to be led by the hand.' Joanne Merriam
'Alice Lenkiewicz, a modern alchemist, effects the transmutation of lived experience via the intimate crucible of her rare, poetic imagination – informed by an artist's visual sensibility. ' A C Evans
'Men Hate Blondes is a kind of poetic bildungsroman, it offers up its insights in a savvy use of montage, dreamscapes, cityscapes and fantasias all matched with Lenkiewicz's dispassionate itinerant observation; this is a refreshing, developing new voice testing out its boundaries in a world still forming and reforming around us.' Chris Hamilton Emery

Chris Hardy : A Moment of Attention
