"She is a Southern white woman, but she has the eye and the ear to see beauty and know truth". -- W.E.B. Du Bois
"Nothing so stark, taut, and poignant has come out of the South in fifty years". -- Joel Spingarn
"Black April's vigorous simplicity makes it deserving of a place among the world's best folk-tales". -- The Nation
"Bright Skin is an attractively written story...sympathetic and unsensational in style". -- The Times Literary Supplement
"Peterkin has shown herself in Green Thursday as a literary artist.
...Into the mold of the graceful form she has chosen she pours the distillation of a rich, human observation of the secret life of a people who have not yet been understood". -- The New York Times
"As a portrayer of both grief and broad comedy, it seems to me that Peterkin is at the present time unsurpassed by any writer in America". -- New York Herald Tribune
