Often shifting and allusive, Croggon's poems can convey the `strangeness of dream'.... The `stubborn voice' is restless, impatient, exploratory - attuned to bedrock reality. Her poems are often carried forward by sheer rhythmical energy and, if the nature of the anguish that often informs them can be hard to pin down, it's because anguish is seen as the price of being alive.... She can slip in and out of styles as readily as an amphibian slips from land to water.
