Diane Fahey, The Australian Book Review Crisp creates a radically new way of 'knowing' the East Gippsland bush. Her poetry evokes the Snowy River and itÕs environs from a woman's perspective, as well as the memory the land holds of the massacres of the indigenous Krauatungalung, Ngarigo and Bidwell people.

Miriel Lenore uses this as the framework for her own explanations of the effects of gender, race, and generation on the individual and society.
Typical of Miriel Lenore's poetry . . . is its lack of pretension, its authenticity. There is also a distinctive lightness of tone accenting many of her poems, a delightful fusion of balance and exuberance.

Crisp's insights and perceptions are so original and intense that she has needed to find a new language, precise and sensuous, mysterious and revealing.
