"She tries to conjure up places and situations which normal language does not reach, from which it has disappeared, and then let something unheard communicate with us across a distance for which we have no words. (...) What she adds is her fabulous gift of making her material physical." -Hadle Oftedal Andersen, Klassekampen

"...A lived and wise collection by this knowledgeable and sensitive poet." -Tore Elias Hoel, Dag og tid

"Hanne Bramness' own voice gently finds its way through a common language, not as insistence but as a presence, where the spontaneous warmth of feeling and intellectual distance balance each other." -Lennart Sjogren, Lyrikvannen
