'Initially written for the stage, My Dog Has Never Read This, is a prose poetry collection that navigates its use of comedy, absurdism and anthropomorphic characters through a distinct voice that may (or may not) want its reader to be there. Where is there? Not sure. Perhaps at the pub or in a living room with a nice cup of tea. Except it’s not a nice cup of tea, is it? It’s a scared one. Keeps screaming about how the hot water sets off its eczema. It’s upsetting and I want to go home.' - The dog from the cover 
 
‘M. L. WALSH CREATES A WORLD WHERE WE MIGHT BE ADDRESSED BY A CEREAL MASCOT, A PERSONIFIED TRAFFIC SIGNAL, AN INCREASINGLY AGGRESSIVE ALL CAPS TEXT… IMPECCABLY TIMED, PERFECTLY DEADPAN AND AT TIMES EVEN CHARMINGLY WHIMISICAL.’ - LUKE KENNARD 
 
'I TURNED EVERY PAGE WITH A BUZZ OF EXCITEMENT FOR WHAT SENSE OF REALITY WAS ABOUT TO BE HILARIOUSLY SHAKEN. THIS IS POETRY, ABSURDISM AND SOCIAL WIT FOR THE PERPLEXING TIMES WE LIVE IN.' - HOLLY PESTER
