DCTRENDING published an author interview in their article Exploring Love and Transformation: A Book of Poetry by D.C. Area Writer Liza Achilles
“An intimate, often hilarious, always relatable debut. . . . Her language and subject matter is modern, refreshingly of the moment, her grasp of the sonnet so good that her poetic lines sound like contemporary speech. . . . It’s raw, honest, sex-positive, and brave.” —Norah Vawter, DCTRENDING magazine
