"Sexton resides in the liminal spaces between an unaccountable and unkind time, and a time that is animate and exceptionally beautiful. She indeed sees fate as mercurial, much like the weather: delightful in its pleasant moments yet ever aware of the cruelty of past personal weaknesses, blind indifference, time wasted, and the petty grievances." — Walter Holland, The Rumpus
