“She is a poet of light and darkness, death and beginnings, endless cycles of birth and renewal. She has the gift of a true poet in that her texts, rooted in personal events and sentiments as they must, transcend the particular to take flight towards the universal. Her language is superbly crafted to convey the eternal themes she writes about, often a veritable tour de force where we are no longer conscious of words per se but seem to be in direct contact with the feelings expressed and which we experience as our own” – Daniel Sloate.

Hélène Dorion has published over a dozen books of poetry in Quebec, France and Belgium. Her poems have been translated into several languages. Guernica Editions published a selection of her poetry, translated by Andrea Moorhead, in 1995, entitled The Edges of Light. She has also contributed to many reviews in Canada, Italy, Argentina, England, Spain, France and Belgium.

Daniel Sloate recently published his collected poems, Of Dissonance and Shadows (2001) with Guernica.
