"[Ezra] Pound and [Charles] Olson drive toward a choice that would proclaim, make women coequal with men. Then they turn the car. They just veer right off and you can see it happening. You see Pound kind of wobble." Rachel Blau DuPlessis in conversation with Andy Fitch • Conversant

"When I ask about poetry’s purpose, and whether it needs to be rescued, his reply reassures. “What’s the purpose of a sport like hockey or a video game like Halo 3?”" Kimberley Bourgeois on Carmine Starnino • Montreal Review of Books

"Pollock’s book—though it certainly espouses its aesthetic ideals with a firmness that will rankle with both those whose poetics stand at odds with them and, more moderately, those less willing to make hard-and-fast evaluative judgments—provides both a series of unusually nuanced and intelligent takes on individual poets and volumes and, taken as a whole, an erudite accounting of Canadian poetic identity in the late twentieth- and early twenty-first centuries." Stewart Cole • The Urge

"'Be regular and orderly in your life like a bourgeois, so that you may be violent and original in your work,' advised [Gustave] Flaubert. [Charles] Baudelaire did precisely the opposite." Stephen Akey • The Millions
