From Chiron Review (Kindred Spirit Press)
Review of the book
Squaw Winter, poems by Virginia Love Long:
"The illustrations by Dawn Senior reflect her own experiences and relationships
with Native Americans and mirror/echo the poems perfectly in a most ethereal and
haunting way. One can almost hear the howl of wind and the neighing
of ponies in her sketch opposite "Amazon Patrol":
'I cannot believe the music
They leave behind...
Their long hair billows free
Like fields of ripening wheat.'"
From the Small Press Review:
Woodcut illustrations:
"Artwork by Dawn Senior has a Zen-like quality which is compelling and
universal. One is immediately struck by the delicacy and the splendid
power of 'stillness' brought to the works. Woodcuts included in
Wyoming, the Hub of the Wheel bring to mind the translucence and simplicity
of Japanese screen-art. Throughout, there is a sense of a blinding, but
enlightening whiteness of the winter land -- pure as air and light -- designs
that almost seem 'absorbed' or 'breathed' rather than just 'looked at'.
From The Bloomsbury Review:
Illustrations for Gary David's book Tierra Zia:
"Tierra Zia" is a gem of a book, beautifully illustrated in
black-and-white pen and ink drawings by Dawn Senior (from photographs taken by
the author) -- faithful reproductions of ruins and wall drawings etched by
the Anasazi hundreds of years before.
"In "Morning at Tsankawi" the drawings and the words give an immediate effect of
'being there' at the cliff ruins, but also frame a journey through art into
mystery."
Review by Susan Sheppard:
Squaw Winter is illustrated by the Wyoming artist Dawn Senior.
It goes without saying that Senior's illustrations add wonderfully to the
collection. Especially alluring is her black and white drawing of Aztec goddess
Coatlicue holding the sun in her right hand and the moon in her left.
Other drawings in the collection are reminiscent of 19th Century poet/artist
William Blake. The beauty of the drawings alone are well worth the price
of the book."
Review by The Pilot, Southern Pines, NC:
Review of Wyoming, the Hub of the Wheel -- "Dawn Senior is
the Art Editor, whose own work...poignantly simple line drawings, add to the
memorable meaning of each issue of Wyoming."

"I don't like Dawn's
drawings, I worship them and feel great pride and much humility
that my poems struck such searing fire in her creative woodlands. I can
say only 'Bless her!', for sharing in my dreams, and working them into
reality." - Poet Virginia Love Long, author of the book Squaw Winter
