95 Books calls The Porcupinity of the Stars 'exceptional'

'It’s rare to see surrealistic poetry with such lyrical, emotional depth. Barwin’s newest collection is an exceptional book, one that strikes a careful set of balances to offer poems that are at once funny, melancholy, emotive, detached, warm, and wry. Each page brims with fresh, exciting, original, and vibrant imagery — 'the porcupinity of the stars' is a good example, a phrase that seems nonsensical at first read but appears more and more fitting with each further consideration.'
