"The session was very interesting and informative and I learnt a lot. It is always inspiring to hear the point of view of someone passionate about and fluent in their art." Mr.Clarence Jagroopsingh

"I thought Dr. Walker was wonderful. She was clear, vivid and passionate. What I enjoyed the most, and what I found most inspiring, was her use of and references to various sources of poetry. She was able to tightly entwine these various works with her mantra of owning various books about poetry and reading books of poetry if one considers oneself a 'serious' poet."
