Gottlieb has a wickedly smart sense of humour, edged with the pain of human fallibility...Clever, fun, and deep all at once. - San Francisco Bay Guardian on Why Things Burn [Final Girl is] one of the strongest volumes of political poetry to be published in years....Simultaneously hard-hitting, witty, and deeply moving, Final Girl is one of those books of poetry that ranks as simply necessary. - Joel Schalit, Punk Planet
