‘I found her work a highly pleasant revelation, at once thoroughly alert and judged yet delightfully manic and farreaching in its wildness, risks and resultant freedoms’
David Morley, Poetry Review

‘Presley’s work sleights the relationship between landscape and language, each deploying (or deployed) as markers for the human eye.’
G. C. Waldrep, Kenyon Review
