“Atmospheric and heady.... [This] elegiac story holds up a small, flickering light for benighted times.” — The Vancouver Sun

“Hypnotically beautiful.” — The Chicago Tribune

“A work of great power” — The Guardian

“Stay tackles the theme of time and all its implications…. [Aislinn Hunter] has been called a ‘genuine ambidexter, equally gifted and fiction and poetry.’ And now, if I can add to that, in the novel form as well.” – The Globe and Mail

“… this collection is a gem – the sort that arrests with its surface sparkle, then holds attention with its richness of hue and reflection.” – The Globe and Mail

“Linger, Still is a humble and quiet work, but also powerfully ambitious. Here are poems of vision and compassion, steeped in history and philosophy, always alert to their music. They ask essential questions, whilst never failing to reveal the familiar to us in new and beautiful ways.” - Miranda Pearson

“…what Hunter’s poetry seeks, as it sets about waking us up to the richness of that world - to the richness of possibility - is a new understanding of how time works, in a vision of life’s radiance that is neither sentimental, nor intellectually formalised… she wants us to see, beyond what we already know…” – John Burnside

“These are substantial poems full of amazement, humour and wonder. [Her poetry] is characterized by a generosity of imagination as well as a breadth and depth of engagement within its human concerns. This is writing that has a stake in the world, that takes risks.” – ARC Magazine

“Just about every page of this book provides a new insight into the world of language, imagination, the I and the other.” – Event Magazine
