Critics Review
“Sensitively chosen and intelligently introduced … Ford’s selection makes it possible to see more clearly how inward O’Hara’s poetry was at its best … For O’Hara a poem was truthful when it was personal … [His] elegies succeed because long after he discarded any religious belief in immortality, he retained the aesthetic sensibility that took it seriously.”
—Edward Mendelson, The New York Review of Books
