Trade Review
"When the Light of the World Was Subdued, Our Songs Came Through is nothing less than a landmark anthology of Native Nations Poetry... The poets in this anthology are artists, historians, and keepers of the truths of their heritage, their people, and their lands. These poems are testament to their personal journeys and this collection is transcendent in its authority and eternal power." -- Lew Whittington - New York Journal of Books
"...When the Light of the World Was Subdued, Our Songs Came Through: A Norton Anthology of Native Nations Poetry... give[s] a sense of the depth of marginalised voices." -- Paul Perry, The Best Books of 2020: Poetry - The Irish Independent
