"While the title almost implies a reproach, Frivolous Women and Other Sinners is a celebration of the eccentric, defiant, glamorous cast of characters who inhabit Borinsky’s poetry—women doing their level best to give sin a good name. In many ways, the collection invites comparison to Sappho. . . . Borinsky has both charm and core. . . . The English-language poems retain the bounce of the Spanish originals and are bursting with confidence."

University of Arizona Poetry Center

"It’s rare to find a poet who is as unabashedly narrative and playful as Borinsky. Add to that her pleasing idiosyncrasies in language and subject, and Borinsky’s new collection is an unusual and worthwhile read."

Adam Eaglin | Words Without Borders

“The latest publication of the Borinsky-Franzen team, Frivolous Women and Other Sinners/Frívolas y pecadoras is one of Borinsky’s most powerful works to date. The original Spanish versions of the poems are sharp and witty, while their English translations are confident and creative. . . .This collection of poems exemplifies the collaborative endeavours of Borinsky and Franzen.”
