"There's a persistent sensation in WANT FOR LION of being yoked to a mind in full stream. It's faster than you. It foams in a forest of registers. There is work to be done as a reader to reach this new speed: stumbling, knees ripped, I think I have. 'I want to make people feel so small that they think I'm the sky, ' says the Poet. I'm here to tell you that's exactly what happens." --Brandon Downing
"Paige Taggart punctures identity papers with inky harpoon ritual, process in every line, gone beyond epiphany package. She is a poet who dares to value attention over status when most poems read like elaborate status updates. Her rhythm shakes me out of screen trance into a labyrinth of the gloriously unfixable self." --Filip Marinovich
