Trade Review
"In my opinion, Phoenix Poets - which includes David Ferry, Turner Cassity, Donald Davie, Alan Shapiro, and the like - is second to none." (Richard Wilbur) "John Peck may be the best American poet whose name you've never heard of." (Peter Campion, Poetry) "The best free-verse writers we have today are probably August Kleinzahler and John Peck." (Clive Wilmer, Notre Dame Review)"
