"I started reading this book on the bus, and finished it in two days. I was impressed how the entire book rhymed, yet it didn't feel like a poem, it was very natural. It was a combination of innocence, mystery and thriller. The author took me into so many emotional states. When I was done, I was definitely not expecting the direction the story finally took me." -cdow

"Beautiful, fascinating, cultural! Kala has documented a fascinating array of people on the fringe through beautifully composed photographs. You get a strong sense that Ms Mandrake knows the stories she is telling personally and emotionally, from both the text and photos. This book is an important documentation of a piece of contemporary New York culture. You will not be disappointed! A work of art." -Taranight

MANDRAKE MAGAZINE 2015-2016

"A publication that artists can use as a resource for self-promotion and a platform to get their ideas out to an audience. Grouped together, outside the box.
