"Editor Taien Ng-Chan has done an impressive job of selecting some of the finest writers around, regardless of gender...Almost every page in the book is a revelation, and I can’t recommend it highly enough; suffice it to say that this is a collection that will be treasured by many." —Melora Koepke, Montreal Hour
"More than simply a feminist project, Ribsauce is an exploration of the
region where sound, meaning and performance intersect. As these women demonstrate, literature is moving beyond poets at podiums and novel-reading in armchairs." —Montreal Gazette
"A few simple elements make this anthology quite effective beyond a collection of fresh, young voices. First is the neo-feminist iconoclasm of a title like "ribsauce" with its play upon American culture and biblical origins. Second is the inclusion of literal, rather than merely literary, voices in the form of a 16-track CD of stunning spoken word performances. This means that Ribsauce manages to entertain, while defying expectations." —Digital Journal
"An ambitious project...brash and touching." —Maria Simpson, Montreal Review of Books
"Impeccably produced." —Cantext
