"Hélène Dorion 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." Chr(45) Daniel Sloate.
