“Carson’s translation of 'The Midnight Court' is that rarest of things: a small and utterly enjoyable masterpiece. It brings to a wider audience than ever before a great and neglected piece of 18th century literature and, to an American readership, something equally important. In this country, poetry now is more frequently written than read, and the pleasures of the long poem are all but lost. By and large, our poets lack ambition and their meager audiences the patience. What Carson offers the willing in these 60 pages of poetry with a brief introduction is a rollicking evening of instruction in the pleasures of a long and entertaining poem.”  Tim Rutten, Los Angeles Times

"A poet like the Irishman Thomas Kinsella, who engages thse worlds ably and bravely, can reach past surface charm and nostalgia to discovery.... [He] is among the true poets, not only of Ireland but among all who write in English in our day." M. L. Rosenthal, New York Times Book Review

“I can’t think of a living poet who writes such incredible sonnets. ... He travels with ease from the Iliad to his local fields. ... It’s hard to tell if he’s a poet of regular life who is good at stumbling upon depth, or a deep poet who knows that the quotidian is precious. And it’s not clear that it matters.” Laurel Maury, The Los Angeles Times

"Snow Water marks a decisive moment in Longley's poetic development — as decisive, perhaps as that signalled by Gorse Fires.… Longley's war poetry can stand comparison with the best of its century; and Snow Water adds to the distinguished total, while also doing something radically new." The Guardian

"An intrepid Irish poet.... To read these forty-three undated poems is to admire the virtual absence of solecism.  To realize that they were conceived and shaped over a period of seventeen years is to appreciate the struggle which must have accompanied and determined the lyric force and the fearless compassion that together define Longley's poetic profile." Vernon Young, Parnassus

"Less strict than British verse, more formal than American, Montague poems take a great variety of forms — imagistic description, dramatic monologues, elegies, litanies, quest romance all appear in the Drunken Sailor.... There are many measured and measuring allusions to the late great Yeats in Drunken Sailor, but this best thing ["Last Court"] is simply great late Montague." Adrian Frazier, Irish Times
