Among the endorsements: "Miss Sitwell is a striking example of the development which future critics will probably come to think of as characteristic of poets in our age ... With all this brilliance and simplicity there is at the same time subtlety of music which she has never achieved before ... Green Song will take its place beside Yeats and Eliot in modern literature."--Stephen Spender in Horizon (England).
