'Melissa Lee-Houghton's Exposure/Ideal Palace is 'a fever of defiance'. These poems are a blazing account of the erotic splendour, despair and violence of living; of how joy can be found even though there's a 'bone lodged in the throat' of your life.'—Amy Key

'Visceral, fraught and intoxicated, Lee-Houghton’s poetry sheds light on a hardscrabble existence, a psychic descent into turmoil and disintegration. This is fearless writing, one reporting from the frontline of homelessness, addiction and obsessive love.'—Adelle Stripe

'With its long lines and its hard joy, with its defiance in the face of darkness, Exposure/Ideal Palace is Melissa Lee Houghton’s song of herself. In going that far down into the dark it somehow flies.'— #MarkWaldron
