for startling lines and a wonderful sense of humour."

The Guardian review of New Poetries III (Carcanet anthology, 2002)
"The pick of the new writers is the quirkily witty Jane Yeh."

"At the end Jane Yeh provides a superbly controlled and punchy round-up
of half-a-dozen collections. . . . Would that more such honesty were displayed
in reviews elsewhere."
