Reviews
Polyamorous Love Song is... surreal, transgressive, and unsettling. It has the capacity to not only deliver itself like a punch to the gut but also leave a lingering sting. -- Quill and Quire (Starred review)
"The book of your dreams..." -- Globe and Mail
"At once thoughtful, thrilling, terrifying, comedic and disturbing..." -- Cult MTL
"Polyamorous Love Song sets up every human being as an artist -- oversexed, furry and holding a gun -- to play through wicked palindromes of sex performance and political protest. This book notably asks: Are we all pretending? Wren mines the ethical implications of both hidden literature and mass entertainment. Reading it, I wondered why I wasn't more afraid." -- Tamara Faith Berger
"Everything Jacob Wren touches interests me, excites me - he's both sophisticated and innocent in attitude -- he's a kind of wise old man and open-hearted lover. With his vivacious ideas, word play, and the serious and inane served up on a plate - Wren lifts my spirits, intellectual and other, because to know he's writing so beautifully in this mad, sad world is a wonderful thing." -- Lynne Tilman
