Reviews

"Highly charged, stingingly beautiful lyrics." John Ashbery

"Magisterial, the books verbal generosity and bravura, its humanity make it a continuing delight." Marilyn Hacker

"I love Stanley Mosss poetry. Again and again, coming upon a poem of Stanley Mosss I have had the feeling of being taken by surprise, not simply by the eloquence and the direct authenticity of the language, for I have come to expect those in his poems. The surprise comes from the nature of his poetry itself, and from the mystery that his poems confront and embody." W.S. Merwin
