“With vulnerability and surprising humour, Dunic reflects upon [...] her search for completion and love.”
—Shrapnel Magazine

“In One and Half of You maps reify the inhabited milieux of a biracial body ... Dunic’s poems witness the events of permanent closures, rent increases, and fading photographs on the walls of restaurants. Against the ever-gentrifying calligraphy of Chinatown’s streets, Dunic’s poetry acts as a “love letter” to a place at once past and present.”
—Isabella Wang, the Capilano Review

“One and Half of You explores the tensions of boundaries, belonging, and identities through an innovative multimedia experience; it is a hybrid form of poetry and prose … [It] ultimately is a love story, a love story to Chinatown and to biracial and bisexual identity, a love story to the brother and also the narrator’s lover, and a self-love story to the narrator, accepting the complexity of crossing boundaries and navigating mixed identities.”
—Julie Jeanell Leung, Sundress Publications

“"Leanne Dunic’s One and Half of You performs a difficult mathematics of the self. Dunic’s poems expressively ask, to whom do the ghosts belong? Who should be privy to the heartbeat?"
