@Lajmmoore: Article is new enough, long enough, neutral and well-cited. Both hooks are fine; I think a radio personality (I'm assuming Yardan was a radio personality at least, for NCN) also being an accomplished poetry writer is an interesting angle, and I'm wondering if that can be incorporated into the first hook.

Thanks very much DigitalIceAge, how about this ALT:

ALT2 ... that the poetry collection of Guyanese radio presenter Shana Yardan was described as "accomplished, tough-minded and well-crafted"? Lajmmoore (talk) 12:33, 19 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I like it. Since the QPQ has been completed and I could detect no close paraphrasing, I approve ALT2. DigitalIceAge (talk) 19:33, 19 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
