McDougall gives voice to the ineffable emotions of plain people.  And in the undiluted glare of the genuine, the land and its people are redeemed, if not wholly forgiven.
- Judith Kitchen
The Georgia Review

McDougall's...reach is expansive, comprehensive...beautiful, witty, and unlike anyone else's.
- Kelly Cherry
The Hollins Critic

The prevalent tone of calm anxiety creates a distinctive voice that is recognizable as American small town, and McDougall's images are often remarkable in their strength and truth.
- The Virginia Quarterly Review

One of the most winning things about what Jo McDougall makes is how marvelously they pretend not to be poems.  Ah, but they are!
- Miller Williams
