Reviews

"Taken as a collection, Tongue Lyre weaves a new mythology for our contemporary lives, one based in ancient story but resonating with contemporary problems and settings, with continued attention to voice, body, violence, and song. This is an exciting, imaginative, lyrically charged debut." -American Book Review[16]

"Mills uses myth to peel back the illusion of safety that “reality” offers us—and with it the illusion that there is a barrier between myth and real life. Myth is not a story or a set of stories here; it is a force that makes and unmakes, continually and throughout Tongue Lyre." - RATTLE[17]
