"Harley Claes is the master of Nabokovian vocabulary and decadent imagery, she writes the bible of bohemia and beyond, a trinity which nurtures the creative libido."

Tully LapishWriter

"There are very few writers whose work embodies wildness and calculation, Harley Claes is one of those writers. Iconographic prose meets dark subject matter to create a body of work that is eloquently designed and deeply moving. Harley’s work is shamelessly provocative, with a voice and energy that leaves behind its passionate residue on your psyche long after the turn of the final page."

Afieya Kipp Editor in Chief at Vessel Press

"Like Rimbaud, Claes is completely comfortable careening through Inception-esque, dreamlike corridors- capturing a portal-spawning quality in her work — in the hands of someone less adept, it would collapse or disintegrate like the unsustainable dreamscapes in Inception. The sensibility at the operative heart of her novel-writing is that of the poet. Her prose is amphibious, and her aesthetic ambidextrous."

Joe Provenzano Writer, editor, scholar, and publisher

"Claes’ style follows that of contemporary confessional poetry, as she radiates an overwhelming, unapologetic light from her verse. Akin to Anais Nin- her language is brilliant, devastating and honest in a way that will rage against your throbbing heartstrings. A true poetic goddess in literature, Harley Claes gracefully brings to light the friction between two hungry souls in Love Inertia, exposing a stunning vibration and sweet bloodletting: a surrender to love in all of its pure glory and saintly sin. This body of work is a must read."
