“Donna E. Smyth – adventures with words; she is always doing something new and unique. Beginning with her visceral morality, her stories are startling, nerve wracking, provocative: she combines Angela Carter’s beautiful style with Patricia Highsmith’s malevolent atmospheres. Smyth shatters clichs and dismisses mere sociology. She knows that pleasure is besieged by terror. She tells us what we don’t want to know, but need to know. Smyth’s writing disturbs us, enrichingly, because truth can never be at peace with language.” –George Elliott Clarke, author of Execution Poems
“A versatile and prolific writer, Donna Smyth holds to certain truths in all her work. Whether in novels, stopries, plays or poems, she creates a sense of the holiness of all living things, the need for loving community in the face of violence and destruction, and a belief int he power of words to change the world.
“There is a deep moral seriousness in the heart of her work but it co-exists with gentle humour and playful wit. To see the world through her eyes is not to turn away from ugliness and terror but in spite of all to know, in even the simplest things, beauty, courage and faith.” –Joan Coldwell, author, critic and professor of English literature
