“Sara Sutterlin’s I Wanted To Be The Knife picks at the bones of modern romance by exploring the disappointments of intimacy and the loneliness of dissolving relationships. Her poems are brutal, funny and full of tender, ugly details that remind us of the compromises we make with ourselves and each other when in love.”
— KRISTINA MAHLER
“Sara Sutterlin’s I Wanted to Be the Knife is an escape from pretentious, bullshit dude poems. If anything, it is the answer to these poems. It gives us a look at cum from the other perspective. What does it mean to be spewed upon instead of doing the spewing?”
– RACHEL CHARLENE LEWIS ON VAGABOND CITY
“Sutterlin writes the kind of poetry I wish I was brave enough to write—stripped-down, bloody, bare-knuckle poetry, whose strength is in its honesty, its anger, and its little details.”
– ÉCHO
“…the caustic feminism of the book prevails.”
– ENCLAVE
“…a witty, intimate experience of contemporary malaise.”
– LARGEHEARTED BOY
“Sutterlin is a living poem.”
– NAKED UNDERGROUND
“…made me drink two more glasses of wine and sink deeper into the bath.”
– PROBABLY CRYING REVIEW
“Sutterlin doesn’t bother trying to impress, but rather expresses her experiences. In our work towards a more horizontal authority isn’t this what we want?”
– QUEEN MOBS TEAHOUSE”
