The Australian journalist Clive James has said of her: “In the suitcase that she has mentally lived out of since she was a little girl, Kapka Kassabova has brought the turbulent memories of 20th century European history with her to New Zealand, where she recollects bad dreams in comparative tranquillity, and always with the phrasing of a born musician.” [ [http://www.clivejames.com/poetry/kassabova Clive James website] ]

In 2008, Kassabova published "Street Without a Name: Childhood and Other Misadventures in Bulgaria", which The Guardian newspaper called a "profound meditation on the depth of change triggered by the events of 1989 throughout eastern Europe" [ [http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2008/jul/05/saturdayreviewsfeatres.guardianreview27 Guardian Review July 05 2008] ] .
