Reviews
"Generous with grief and sweetness. . . . Simplicity isn't easy and honesty is harder, but McCallum's verse and voice are completely honest. These are poems you cannot turn down." --Carol Frost, "Opens a whole new world. . . . Reading this book is testament to the sustaining fire of poetry." —Ray González, "Generous with grief and sweetness. . . .

Reading this book is testament to the sustaining fire of poetry." --Ray Gonzlez, "In these spare, sensuous, and lyrical poems, McCallum seeks to explore love and loss by navigating the bridge which joins the one to the other." —Maurya Simon, "In these spare, sensuous, and lyrical poems, McCallum seeks to explore love and loss by navigating the bridge which joins the one to the other." --Maurya Simon, "McCallum dances along the brink of experience with a taut and maturing lyricism that seizes the breath and lifts the word into flight. Writing of family and community in her native Jamaica, she gives the sense of the music of the place, a culture steeped in the singularity of a rich patois and spirituality, McCallum emerges with an evocation that is celebratory. . . . balances the hard sobriety of elegiac whisperings with the whimsy of myth and folk characters." ---Afaa M.
