Editorial Reviews

Jane Williams’ poems ring out to capture, as she writes, ‘the pulse of every living thing’. Her words are at once tender but also courageously moral and rigorously reflective, even dancing along the brink of realities that language alone cannot decipher. Her poetry is both an act of testimony and of gorgeous defiance, full of introspective worlds that usher us towards a deeper humanity connecting us all.
