‘Todd Swift has a remarkably capacious imagination.’ — Montreal Review of Books, 2004 ‘We are lucky to have him overseas contributing to this impressive catalogue of written work…. A shape shifter with a heart for Canada. Swift is one to recall, savour, and watch.’ — The Globe and Mail, March 2005 ‘One of Swift’s endearing qualities is that he pays as much attention to the small people in his life, as he does to his mentors and great artists…. Swift’s best poems are restrained, tight-lipped and tempered, yet full of sombre and subtle allusion.’ — Books in Canada, Feb. 2005 ‘Todd Swift might be thought of as a cosmopolitan, … savvy, well read, travelled poet … a promising poet whose work is entertaining, ingenious, humorous and likeable…’ — Poetry London, No. 50, Spring 2005
