"The poems in Jonterri Gadson’s Pepper Girl certainly live up to their title—spicy, provocative, pungent. These capacious and generous poems hold bodies full of candid desire and blood---the blood of passion, family, and violence. Gadson’s lines brim with spunk and grit, humor and heartbreak. Her imagination is acrobatic in dazzle and prayerful in its grace."

-Denise Duhamel

Editorial Reviews

Review

I just got the book in the mail today and didn t intend to read the whole thing tonight, but I couldn t stop myself. The poems are funny and thoughtful, serious but playful. One will lull you into an amused sense of safety with its humor and sound, and the next will punch you in the gut. I really admire the way they re ordered. The book flows seamlessly. --Sacha Siskonen, The Saskatchewan Review

Beautiful work

Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2019

Beautiful poems. Cardinal sin on first read made me weep. Poetry may be subjective but you know a good work when you see/read it. This is that. This is most definitely that.
