“Fayelecaun is a mystic with a widely travelled imagination, her poetry doesn’t just conjure moments, it takes the reader on journeys that show multiple visions and insights.  For Fayelecaun the mushroom, the moon and the snail are up all upheld with equal importance.  She tells stories of the small, the growing, the completion, the dying and the eternal; offering a liberation that is both feminist and spiritual. Fayelecaun challenges the reader to: realise their whole potential and see themself as small pieces.  At times, her book is dark, and uncomfortable, as she expresses the falseness and repressiveness of suburban dysfunction.  Despite these dark truths, the overall message of the book is one of empowerment, renewal and solidarity.”

– Laura Fisher

“Fayelecaun’s poetry draws on the imagery of myth and mysticism to create a lens through which her readers may view both her world and their own….her work reaches toward an existential exploration of the stuff that underpins the domestic realm. Fayelecaun’s language moves from dark viscerality to linguistic whimsy and her lines tell of an intensely lived experience. This is the voice of a woman as she births herself, catches her reflection in a mirror midlife and witnesses herself scattering her own ashes.”
