The book is a finalist in the Eric Hoffer Awards.

To title Callula Xus poems as Juvenile seems an unfair classification, almost prejudicing the author for her age despite the fact her writing possesses a depth and breadth that extends far beyond many writers ten or twenty years her senior. Despite her age, Xus work has power and strength that is ageless. The authors voice is one that has an artists curiosity, keen insight, and flexible language style and dexterity displayed in an effortless, seamless way.
