F.D. Reeve
 |
(GENERAL Audience) |
"Reeve's lyrical gifts are never more evident than in these poems that celebrate and eulogize the changing seasons, the passage of time, and the future of our planet. He writes with specificity and grace and we are lucky to have him."
- Maxine Kumin, Pulitzer Prize winner
"In another timeósay, the time of TennysonóF. D. Reeve might well have been a truly popular poet, one whose star, under the right conditions, might have shone as brightly as Tennyson'sÖ. In his late poetic flowering, Reeve has unearthed a gift that allows him to be bookish and literaryóand unapologetically soóand yet write in a voice that manages to sound entirely uncontrived and unselfconscious. Like Yeats, he recognizes that poems are pure artifice but must not seem artificial. He writes a poetry that allows us to romanticize the moon and that yet just as surely acknowledges that stars die, and worldsóand weódie with them. "
- TruthWillOut (New York, NY)
"F.D. Reeve is one of the finest, most underappreciated poets now at work in this country. For thirty-some-odd years he has been producing work of stunning power and relevance, work that reminds one all at once of the prophetic voice of Yeats, the piercing, crystalline sensibilities of Stevens, and the wild winds and fur pelts of a Siberian shaman."
- John Drexel in the Contemporary Poetry Review
