Media Reviews

Kees was both a gifted lyric poet and a restless experimenter, whose diverse background as an abstract expressionist painter, a jazz pianist and composer, and a filmmaker enriched his sense of formal possibilities. -Poetry Magazine * Poetry Magazine *
The true impulse of [Kees's] work shows in its constantly surprising inventiveness and in the certainty and naturalness of its speech. -Hudson Review * Hudson Review *
Not many poets can do better than this; not many ever have. . . . This is poetry to read over and over again. -The Village Voice * The Village Voice *
