Poetic style

Writing in Stride magazine, critic Nathan Thompson called hers "a difficult but deeply rewarding poetry. It has a precision and a tenderness all of its own." In Boog City, critic Maureen Thorson called Treadwell's "a feminine poetry, marvelous, tough, and unrelenting." Treadwell's work has also been reviewed in Rain Taxi, Jacket, The Believer (magazine), and elsewhere.
