About The Time of Hunger | O Tempo de Chuva:

"There are a lot of good things to say about the poems of Alice Pettway. Probably what sets them apart more than any other virtue is the subtle but insistent sense of irony they convey - one of the rarest and most valuable aspects of any art, but especially of poetry."
—Miller Williams

"We are from one poem to the next, accompanied by her keen eye for the unseen and the nourishment supplied by her own fortitude."
—Paul B. Roth
