Reviews

Patricia Killelea:

‘Andrews’ treatment of the theme of transformation constitutes an important contribution to the field, and if her main intention is to honor the work of these Native women poets with earnest scholarship, she has accomplished just that.’

David Gaertner:
‘In the Belly of a Laughing God sheds new light on an important and previously underdeveloped topic. I was very happy to see book-length criticism on these poets, and I hope this text inspires even more work.’
