Writing[]
In Poetry NZ, Alistair Paterson called Mittal "at 17 years of age a remarkable talent," whose "work shows a maturity of vision and a technical skill rarely found among poets twice her age." Paterson compared her talent to " Arthur Rimbaud, who at the same age (17 years) leapt onto the literary stage."[2]
