"Mark's collection is perplexingly captivating; she applies a poet's playful sensibilities to the fiction form and creates something astonishing and new."
—Publisher's Weekly
"Dorothy, a publishing project, which is committed to 'works of fiction or near fiction or about fiction, mostly by women,' has, for nearly 10 years, proven an ally to genre-bending writing. Mark's book is on a par with the best work they've put out, such as Leonora Carrington's The Complete Stories and Jen George's The Babysitter at Rest."
—The Millions
"Wild Milk is equal parts setup and punchline, a brilliant logic of surreal, layered humor that skips its way towards deeply felt truths. Author Sabrina Orah Mark, who has previously written two books of poetry, offers us short stories that blend fairytale, Who's-on-First-style drollery, and current cultural moment to deliver back a clearer version of our own warped reality."
—The Arkansas International
