'I want to construct a myth,' Gwendolyn MacEwen has written, and indeed she has constructed one. MacEwen is not a poet interested in turning her life into myth; rather; she is concerned with translating her myth into life, and into poetry which is part of it.'
- Margaret Atwood, Second Words

The work of MacEwen, more than that of any other writer, has restored the value of mythology to Canadian poetry. For Canadian writers, the most salutary union of opposites MacEwen has achieved is this one in which the mythological and the experimental become inseparable faces of one living reality.
- Frank Davey, From Here to There

There are very few Canadian poets with a grasp as broad as MacEwen's of the poetic dimensions of history.
- G. Woodcock, Oxford Companion to Canadian Literature '83
