“A bold explorer with few rivals, Hilbert enlarges the territory of traditional form. Sixty Sonnets may be the most arresting sequence we have had since John Berryman checked out of America.” – X.J. Kennedy

“To read [Mazer] is to follow him along a dreamlike corridor where everything is beautiful & nothing is as it seems.” – John Ashbery

“[A] daring poet, formally sophisticated yet pushing the boundaries of form at every turn.” – Gail Mazur on McDonough

“[Weaver’s poems] are imbued with a vivid sense of language, a vivid sense of the world . . . . This is a singular talent.” – Henry Louis Gates Jr.
