Review: "Erudite yet sensual, earnest yet playful, Mary Lou Soutar-Hynes writes with the precision of a retired educator and the passion of a former nun. Her work is deeply spiritual and yet fulsome and sensual ... it is a hard book to put down, and a satisfying one to read over and over." - Mary Hanna, Literary Arts Supplement, Jamaica Observer

Review: "Soutar-Hynes is capable of very effective kinetic poetry. Examples abound ... There are some exceptional moments in this collection." - John Herbert Cunningham, Prairie Fire Review of Books
