Stone Woman

A collection of new poems. Authored by a singular, mature, multi-talented, unique voice, equally compelling in prose, poetry, and oral storytelling. Bernadette Gabay Dyer's reputation has grown considerably in the Caribbean, Canada, the US, and the UK. Stone Woman is the newest collection of Poems by Dyer.

"Bernadette Dyer is a folk singer of the Caribbean and a weaver of fantastic, moral and spellbinding tales. Her words induct and seduce, instruct and soothe. Elementary in style, but philosophical in subject, she be Miss Lou at song and Aesop at the story telling. To open her books is to be enlightened, and one closes them knowing one has been refreshed and improved." --George Elliott Clarke, internationally renowned poet, Parliamentary Poet Laureate of Canada

"...a wonderful collection of stories that have common universal themes in a multicultural context. The themes of love, identity, tradition versus modern beliefs are woven well in stories... with unpredictable endings." --Karen Lemmons, Goodreads book reviewer
