Excerpts from review in The Jamaica Gleaner, Tuesday, November 15, 2011
"The Saturday evening show was shrouded in laughter generated from the words of
the three featured presenters - Velma Pollard, Monica Minott and Earl Lovelace."

"Regardless of its manifestation, it usually begins with words. And
words are no more beautifully presented than in songs, poetry and novel. However, it is the latter
two that were the focus of Artistic Expressions Limited's third and final
presentation of their calendar events. It was simply titled Wordz, a fitting
conclusion and title, as the previous two events were an art exhibition and two
consecutive evenings of dance dubbed 'Cultural Fusion'."

"With captivating reverence, they lifted from pages their craftily, creatively
intertwined words. Words that brought not only nature to life but reconstruct locations and make colourful
and tragic characters loveable."
