‘True stars in poetry like Gwyneth Lewis always match brilliance with warmth. She is the one to bet on’.
Les Murray
‘One of the most exhilaratingly gifted poets of her generation’.
M Wynn Thomas, The Guardian
‘Such exuberant invention… The range of reference is so wide, we are intoxicated by it’.
Elaine Feinstein, Independent
‘Felicitous, heartbreaking, the poems of Gwyneth Lewis form a universe whose planets use language for oxygen and thus are inhabitable’.
Joseph Brodsky
‘Gwyneth Lewis has so many of the gifts required for good poetry: command of form, with improvisation enlivening tradition; supple rhythm; originality of subject-matter and the right eye to pin down detail; humour, both sardonic and direct; and, above all, commitment to human feeling’.
Peter Porter
