TESTIMONIALS
IN PRAISE OF SHEER POETRY (1981):
"I have read each line of each stanza, and am trying to determine my favorite--maybe a not very fruitful approach, since each has and is part of a mood of its own. Please continue. We who write about such horrors as war need your reminders of another world."--the late Cardinal John J. O'Connor, Archbishop of New York and author of A Chaplain Looks at Vietnam
"They resemble the poems of Emily Dickinson . . . old-fashioned in the way the poetry of A. E. Housman is old-fashioned--the simple language, the short lines, the rueful look at love . . . I do not use these hallowed names irreverently but I see a definite connection and one which in no way dishonors these great writers. I offer my congratulations."--the late Levin Houston, The Free Lance-Star
AND IN PRAISE OF SHEER POETRY REVISITED:
"Taut, powerful poetry. Much in little. Unflinching honesty in expression of universal issues of the heart. Mastery of condensation. Total control of both the short emotion-filled poem and the longer humorous narrative or depiction of love. Deserves a much wider audience and recognition of worth. My prediction: This poet's acclaim is yet to come."--the late Sydney H. Mitchell, Professor Emeritus of English, UMW
"Donna Lee Davis writes tight, taut . . . and vivid. The poems in this lovely volume generally take less than a page but still manage to be powerful."--Melanie Rigney, Author
