“Jonas has long been my favorite poet writing in English. . . . No one is better than George Jonas at taking the world around us in its populous dimensions and allowing its facets to reveal unknown lights.”
— J. Michael Yates

“An author has to have a hell of an interesting psyche to get me curious about it, and I think Jonas has . . . these poems have entertained me, soothed me, inspired and delighted. I can’t imagine a world without ideas and music and moral truths and so I can’t imagine it without the poetry of George Jonas.”
— Barbara Amiel

“Jonas is Jonas and he’s very good.”
— Al Purdy

“Jonas effectively catches the paradoxes of love, neatly mocks the fragmentation of modern life, and is particularly telling in his evocation of the sense of alienation.”
— University of Toronto Quarterly

“And then there is Jonas — tough, sardonic, resolutely humane.”
— The Tamarack Review

“George Jonas is one of the very best writers of English in the country.”
— J.M. Owen, Books in Canada
