See below for high praise from Ishmael Reed, Ntozake Shange and more.

“Too many modern poets have been caught up in the religion of exactness and precise description, goals which even the best modern prose has abandoned. They have forgotten that poetry can't be poetry without heart and feeling; the very word 'inspiration' means seized by the spirit. Joyce Carol Thomas knows this. She writes about ordinary people, their triumphs and their tragedies."

Ishmael Reed, Poet
