"Striking, luminous and soothing, in Anter's realm, sadness is not a sour or unwelcome thing, but worthy of tender examination. This book celebrates existing through the moments we once believed to be unbearable." - Chanel Miller

"Tender, visceral, beautifully vulnerable." - Musa Okwonga

"A layered and joyous exploration of life in all of its complexities. Gets you in the gut, the heart and the soul. A must read." - Cat Hepburn

"An achingly beautiful Berlin journey of colour and courage, coiled fear and love's lushness, sunned summer skin and dawns of swirled raspberry; poems that grasp for the truest words and bring joy into the world." - Rory Maclean

"Small Machine is a finely creative and painfully good love letter. It is a love letter to Berlin, to being 27, a love letter, even, to sorrow itself. There are books that put you in another life and books that make you grateful for life itself - this one is both." - Erin Fornoff
