"Her questioning truthfulness demonstrates that Wong is a significant poet."
—George Elliott Clarke, Halifax Sunday Herald
“Forage strikes me as a fierce achievement — a summing up, for the poet so far, of her wisdom and her poetic practice, utilizing two languages and two cultures. It is a formidable fusion.”
—George Elliott Clarke, The Halifax Chronicle Herald
"Forage, recent winner of a B.C. Book Prize, combines social, political, and economic critique with instances of everyday discomfort and joy. ... Wong’s poems always function on multiple levels that expose abuses of power while articulating beauty and employing humour."
—Jacqueline Turner, The Georgia Straight
