"‘History of Present Complaint’ by HLR is a chaotic, darkly humorous and unflinching account of a young woman dealing with both mental illness and a woefully inept support infrastructure which does more to hinder than help. It’s a must read for anyone with an interest in the subject matter or poetry in general. HLR’s writing, “prosetry” as she calls it, is unique and alive, at times it is truly shocking to read but at the same time it’s warm and engaging and makes the reader feel a true sense of connection to the protagonist. There are many standout poems but my personal faves were “Lasagne” a visceral account of self harm told in the most causal offhand way. And “Lovely” in which she crafts a beautifully poignant moment from nosebleeds and crosswords. I read this book in one sitting and can’t recommend it highly enough." - Rick White

"Baptism Of Fire is a beautifully raw and brutal collection of poetry. It delivers a powerful theme throughout and is exquisitely written. Amy-Jean Muller delivers each poem with devastating realism and passion that cuts you deep to the bone. Muller writes with honesty, dripping with emotion, anger and sincerity. I always look forward to anything Amy-Jean writes and I can't wait to see what comes next from this incredibly talented writer." - Kayleigh Price
