Writing in The Hudson Review, David Mason has characterized Lorna Goodison's work as a "revelation to me, much of it beautiful for its simple negotiation of the line between life and art." One of the most distinguished contemporary poets of the Caribbean, Goodison draws on both African and European inheritances in her finely crafted poems, which often carry a sense of language's healing power in the face of the pain of the past.

Andrew Salkey -- World Literature Today "A marvelous poet, one to savor and to chant aloud." -- Pat Monaghan, Booklist
