| Summary: | Writing in The Hudson Review, <br> <br> David Mason has characterized Lorna Goodison's work as a "revelation<br> <br> to me, much of it beautiful for its simple negotiation of the line between<br> <br> life and art."<br> <br> One of the most distinguished<br> <br> contemporary poets of the Caribbean, Goodison draws on both African and<br> <br> European inheritances in her finely crafted poems, which often carry a<br> <br> sense of language's healing power in the face of the pain of the past.<br> <br> She deals thematically with the struggle of Caribbean women and writes<br> <br> in a fashion that has developed from conversational to more ritualistic.<br> <br> From reviews of Goodison's<br> <br> earlier works:<br> <br> "The evocative power<br> <br> of Lorna Goodison's poetry derives its urgency and appeal from the heart-and-mind<br> <br> concerns she has for language, history, racial identity, and gender."<br> <br> Andrew Salkey -- World Literature Today <br> <br> "A marvelous poet, one<br> <br> to savor and to chant aloud."<br> <br> -- Pat Monaghan, Booklist <br> <br> |
