Trade Review"As poet, editor, critic, translator, and educator, Bernstein's decades-long commitment to the community of arts and letters reflects a profound understanding of the importance of language in the business of culture-making. Throughout his career Bernstein has facilitated a vibrant dialogue between lyric and anti-lyric tendencies in the poetic traditions we have inherited; in so doing, he has shaped and questioned, defined and dismantled ideas and assumptions in order to reveal poetry's widest and most profound capabilities."-- "Ange Mlinko, Claudia Rankine, and Evie Shockley, Bollingen Prize Committee"
