"In Understatement Toronto's burgeoning new poetry displays the speed, strength, emotional agility, and acute observation that create its distinctive accent. These twelve poets, diverse as they are, share a direct, energetic language and an urgent approach to daily realities and social concerns."
~ A.F. Moritiz, Author of The Ruined Cottage and Mahoning

"If, as editor Tanya Nanavati says in her fine introduction, 'poetry is the path back to ourselves,' then I am confident this anthology will help to enchant that path with its collective aesthetic."
~ Leonard Gasparini, Winner of the 1990 F.G. Bressani Literary Prize for Poetry
