'Margot K. Juby has a scorpion-like concern with love and
death: her poems are meant to sting erotically and
painfully....The voice of Kali or Hecate with a necklace of
skulls...'
— Herbert Lomas London Magazine
'Margot Juby flirts with self-destruction, self-indulgence, and
the morbidly sensational, but we dare predict she'll survive,
grow, gaining confidence, and become arguably England's most
courageous poet in the quest for life and freedom"
— Robin Michelle Clifton Samisdat
'Margot K. Juby .. disciplined, scrupulously crafted, imagistic
poetry free of discursive clutter and verbosity...'
— Terry Eagleton Stand

her lines lend themselves to an impressive vocalisation...'
— Chris Greenhaigh Decade
> ' Grey — well worth getting hold of...'
— Geoff Hattersley The Wide Skirt
'..a distinctive and unique voice - haunting and effective -...'
