• "When I first read the two excerpts from Sacred and Surreal at Shadow Poetry, I just had a feeling that this chapbook would have poetry to my liking. I bought it, and I was right! Most of Natalie Case’s poetry in this collection is Pagan, but there are some excellent poems written on other subjects as well. I’m only vaguely familiar with the Pagan religion so I found those poems to be enlightening. They tell me so much about the religion, but more about Natalie, the person and poet. I love getting to know someone through their poetry. My favorites are the exuberant "today i feel like wearing war paint", the bold "An Ode to My Tattoo", the seductive "Silent Thundering", and the daring "I’m Not Myself Tonight". If you like poetry flavored with Paganism, originality, sensuality and self-discovery, then Sacred and Surreal is the book for you." - Poppy Hullings

• "Sacred and Surreal contains many poems by a poetess with a distinctive and descriptive, almost matter-of-fact writing style. I enjoyed in particular some poems in this chapbook dealing with her perspectives on love, friendship and the ending of relationships. One very interesting poem The Nature of Madness describes Elvis having a dinner with the Dane, unusual and imaginative!" - Andrea Dietrich
