“By turns a revolutionary’s memoir, an adventurer’s journal, autofiction, and speculative fiction, yet Dry Your Tears to Perfect Your Aim always stays clear and committed to its searching style, and this makes it a novel for today’s uncertain world.”
—Kaie Kellough, author of Dominoes at the Crossroads
“A stunning thought experiment where our hypocrisy, culpability, and compassion are all exposed, Dry Your Tears to Perfect Your Aim is a thought-provoking work of secular expiation, a knowing knot of courage and its opposite, and a defiant work of desperate grace.”
—Eugene Lim, author of Search History
“Rich and Poor is art in resistance, a work that dares to remind us of our capacity for revolutionary love despite the prevailing economic system’s structural violence.”

“No matter how elaborate the storyline, nor how deep the reverie, Polyamorous Love Song’s abiding concern seems to be with fiction’s potential to make life more interesting. This time it does.”
—Maisonneuve
“A thrilling though at times disturbing read, it is flirtatious and experimental, unconcerned with literary convention, and unapologetically playful yet utterly serious.”
—Montreal Review of Books
“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.”
—starred review, Quill & Quire
“Some will come to Authenticity Is a Feeling: My Life in PME-ART for a history of the group, but there is a much wider readership for this book about the kind of self-questioning inherent in art-making of the past 20 years.”
—Globe and Mail
“If I already held Wren in high esteem as a writer, artist, and person, this fascinating hybrid of memoir, archive, performance history and theory, and humorous storytelling reinforced that impression.”
