"She (the author) approaches the Nuer not as an alien, exotic society but as people whose artistic expression may hold meaning and pleasure for any reader."--T.O. Beidelman in ANTHROPOS "A vivid impression of modern Nuer society." --Douglas H. Johnson in MAN "Translated is too modest a word by far. Each of the carefully rendered songs is hard and as beautiful as a pebble washed through centuries." – Writer's Digest "We have a lot to learn from these poems about the social context of our own poetry, and we are indebted to Svoboda for bringing them to us." --Roxanne Barrett in COLORADO REVIEW "Anyone interested in poetry will find insight and image here to delight; creativity enough to last long fter the book is finished." --James Ruppert in CONTACT II "An enticing introduction to one pastoral culture's songs" – World Literature Today
