From Booklist
We are encouraged to place Dorcey in the context of contemporary lesbian poetry, but that's only half the story. Her poetry is indeed informed by the struggle to articulate lesbian sexuality, but it is her style that ravishes. She writes in English, but her language has the starkness and sensuality of her great compatriots who wrote in Irish. Her meandering repetitions give a liturgical flavor to her love poems (and most of these poems, even when about loss, are love poems) that is appropriate to Dorcey's pagan sense of the sacramentality of sex. "The gaelic poets warned me," she sings in one voluptuous lyric, "They knew you of old--/ your eyes like green stones / on a river bed, / the milk white skin, / the hair raven black / and its sheen. / For centuries they sang / your praise, / but I paid no attention / or had forgotten. / Until I saw you walking naked." A magnificent volume that envelops and transcends its subject. Patricia Monaghan
