Reviews
Ledgers approach to abuse and the patriarchal oppression of the feminine is never treated with pseudo-heroism or self-victimisation; rather her poems are strikingly honest and core-cutting, depicting love-hate relationships and painful ties. With effective, emotive accuracy, Ledger bravely explores the scope of rage, injustice, damage and sacrifice to appease and expiate the need of the perpetrator as well as the masochism of the abused - something not many have the courage to approach so openly.
- Petra Whiteley, author of "The Nomads Trail" and "The Moulding of Seers"
What is immediately noticeable when reading "Bells for Her" is its unflinching intimacy. Equal parts warm and torturous, tender then disturbed, it encompasses the full gamut of contemporary life and human emotions. "Bells for Her" is the poetic equivalent of a woman laid bare, beckoning you with all her power.
- A.D.Hitchin, author of "Holy Hermaphrodite"
