"[A] voluminous work of nearly 1000 pages which should bring joy to the lovers and researchers of poetry alike."–Philippe Triay, francetvinfo, La 1ère
"The Complete Poetry of Aimé Césaire is a fundamental work for readers of twentieth century poetry, and those especially interested in the relationships that define a poet's response to his fraught and bloody time."–Alan Graubard, Pacific Rim Review of Books
"Césaire's poetry offers a model of artistic and political opposition that equips people with more than stress and anxiety....it deepens shallow notions of identity and suggests that a subjectivity informed by powerlessness can be useful for understanding, and overturning, power."–David B. Hobbs, The Nation
"Césaire, like Mallarmé and Whitman before him, took his poetic lines on long walks, employing all the elements at his disposal–linguistically an thematically - to craft a new language that could express his Blackness, or rather more specifically, his Africanness, his Caribbeanness."–André Naffis-Sahely, Poetry London
"The Complete Poetry of Aimé Césaire promises to jump start a reassessment of Césaire's importance as a twentieth-century poet. It is the only bilingual edition in any language to date."–Pluton Magazine
