Quotes:
"'McCully's [poems]...have many of the qualities of his prose - patience, tenacity, restless curiosity - as well as a fascination with form and an additional wit, even playfulness....I particularly like the late poems, which for me have echoes of young Eliot and late Lowell....Above all, Chris McCully gets the life of words, their swing and weight, resonance and cadence. The poems spark with great lines and phrases.....'" - Andrew Greig, reviewing Selected Poems in The Literary Review, May 2011
