"There are some gorgeous poems in this volume. Wigmore articulates the mystical aspects of nature without lapsing into personification. Nature, in these poems, is never depicted as some kind of supernatural deity but, rather, it is something apart from us: inexplicable, unpredictable, frightening, and shatteringly beautiful."
-Victoria Times-Colonist
"Of the few who write in a genre that could be considered eco-poetry, Prince George poet Gillian Wigmore's first collection, Soft Geography, presents us with the obvious question: What is it about the region that gives us poets working in such a vein, whether Wigmore, Rob Budde or Ken Belford? Of course, the answer is unquestionably British Columbia's magnificent landscape, whether it's the pulp mills that rest in the shadows of its mountains or the severe divide between land and sea."
