Reviews:
“… let me recommend a small blue booklet titled The Skin by Geraldine Green…Green’s gift for poetry is naďve - or perhaps the right word is natural - in a way I would have thought impossible these days…. there’s a freshness about her work that brought tears to my eyes. Real tears, like a child’s.”
Anne Stevenson, Mslexia OctNovDec 2003
“… Passio is a high-wire act where risk, desire and accomplishment create poems of precarious and touching beauty. There is a mythic quality to much of the work here; each poem a mantra of what is possible if we're prepared to become - and remain - astonished by our lives.”
Graham Mort
“Her infectious enthusiasm informs a created world which integrates the vocabulary of her locality with the universality of transcendent vision.”
George Wallace, NYC Poet
“Geraldine Green has to invent her own language to express her wonder and pity for the wasted world and its oiled words.”
Giles Darvill, Reviewer SOUTH Magazine
“…And with both exuberance and sadness, on an uncharted adventure and uncertain in a backwater, and with a language that's new-found, new-made for what is needed.”
David Hart Freelance Writer/Poet
