To Us, All Flowers Are Roses

Writing in The Hudson Review,         David Mason has characterized Lorna Goodison's work as a "revelation         to me, much of it beautiful for its simple negotiation of the line between         life and art."       One of the most distinguished         contemporary poets of the Caribbean, Goodison draws on both African and         European inheritances in her finely crafted poems, which often carry a         sense of language's healing power in the face of the pain of the past.         She deals thematically with the struggle of Caribbean women and writes         in a fashion that has developed from conversational to more ritualistic.       From reviews of Goodison's         earlier works:       "The evocative power         of Lorna Goodison's poetry derives its urgency and appeal from the heart-and-mind         concerns she has for language, history, racial identity, and gender."         Andrew Salkey -- World Literature Today       "A marvelous poet, one         to savor and to chant aloud."         -- Pat Monaghan, Booklist
