"The speaker is confident about his authority to speak; he goes at his subject head-on. Secondly, the speaker is confident about the capacity of language to point with subtlety and discrimination, even when being implicit." Tony Hoagland on Oppen and others • Poetry

"What is it about Emily Dickinson that invites metaphors of war and violence?" Christopher Benfey • New York Times

"The idea is that this is the line of Follain, a loose notion of elective affinity rather than a school or tradition." Peter Sirr on a new anthology of French poetry • Poetry Ireland Review

'“In a poem, what’s real happens!,” he urged a German highschool teacher who’d written asking whether it was enough to skim his poems for the meaning.' John Felstiner on Paul Celan • Free Verse

"[P]oetry’s knowledge is not a stable one, but arises through the community of open questions." Richard Deming on Ann Lauterbach • Boston Review

". . . [I]t feels more like the occupation or inhabitation of a style, an exploration of its capacities as though miraculously from the inside, than it does like a commentary on it." Seamus Perry on parody • TLS

"Another thing I’ve always admired about Heaney’s work is how his book titles so often exert a refined pressure on the language, prompt us to a fresh awareness of what his subjects are, in title phrases that hover between literal and metaphorical meanings: Door into the Dark, Field Work, Seeing Things, The Sprit Level, Electric Light, District and Circle." Eamon Grennan • Irish Times
