“What Is Amazing instills a sense of discovery that recalls a child lifting a stone in their garden to uncover a colony of ants. Christle presents us with a glimpse into the tiny husbandry of the world we pass over, incrementally, from day to day. … The poems in this collections make their way, as the reader does, through a series of intuitive leaps, led by a ferocious desire to view their surroundings as if for the first time.”
–The Edinburgh Review, June 1, 2012 (Chris Emslie)
