Steve Henn reviewed Tina Andry’s 2013 chapbook ransom notes, applauding Andry’s ability to pack so much detail into such brief poems as well as the underlying narrative that develops through the work’s singular voice.

“All these poems are in one voice. They are one lament, one side of a conversation, and by the end of the book we find that they climax in a tough yet tender affirmation of autonomy.”

He ends by saying that ransom notes “goes quickly, so read it again to get the feel of it, and read it when you’re in a contemplative mood.”
