Praise for This is the Path the Wolf Took":

‘Well-executed, poetic prose.’ – Kirkus Reviews

‘Delightful.’ – School Library Journal

‘This book is funny and touching in the right places.’ – The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

‘Adults and children will enjoy the possibilities of This is the Path the Wolf Took offers for the integration of traditional stories and the creation of new adventures.’ – CM Magazine

Praise for Some Talk of Being Human: 

‘Farina’s poems are wistful and contemplative, composed with a quiet humour, a kind of dreamy melancholy that whispers through and between each of her lines, as well as a silence: heavy, pervasive and dark.’ – rob mclennan

‘These witty poems have the dead-on timing of a stand-up comic and the genuine sincerity of a well-meant sermon.’ – Michael Dennis

Praise for This Woman Alphabetical:

‘A brisk, engaging read … Farina’s poems are refreshingly under-done, with an innate sense of the energy and spontaneity of lyric. … At her best, Farina plucks the tenuous line between contemplation and irreverence. There is something of Frida Kahlo here: the obsessive image-making; the meditations on personal pain; the surrealist impetus. Or of Georgia O’Keefe, in the poems’ deceptively simple clarity.’ – Triny Finlay, Arc Poetry
