"Gritty and lyrical...impressively idiosyncratic, while bristling with feminist and anti-establishment attitude.""
-Washington Post
"A fierce and compassionate anthem here. We need these songs, these words,
these rhythms for this earthly dance."
- Joy Harjo, USA Poet Laureate, 2019
"The mark of a great poet is not recorded in the pages of books or weighed in awards, but left in the people she has changed. The richness Magdalena brings with her ability to see joy and laughter in places of darkness, is a message of hope that extends far beyond the confines of a reading venue. It is something that leaves an everlasting mark on everything and every one she touches."
~ Leo Hwang-Carlos, Dean of Humanities,
Greenfield Community College, MA
"A reading by poet Magdalena Gómez is more than just a recitation of her writings. It’s a theatrical event."
-The Reminder
"Esa mujer en performance es una escopeta!"
-Miriam Colón, 1936-2017
