Quill & Quire review of After Birth forthcoming in the April 2019 issue.
Matea Kulić | Poetry Is Dead
“…’Teach me / how to tell a lie.'” The last line is especially sound advice for any would-be-autobiographical-confessional writer as it refuses a responsibility to Truth. I look forward to Ross’ next book on motherhood, to her using whatever mechanisms nudge her speaker and reader toward embarrassment — even if that means recognizing autobiography as another form of fiction.”

“Whether Ross’s muse is the world around her or her own past, her confessional poems motivate readers to contemplate and unearth the meaning of everyday experiences.”
