Reviews
With Thresholds, Hoyt Rogers has come of age as a significant writer... He has enriched the language of poets like Oppen, Lowell, and Heller, who would all salute him. -Anthony Rudolf Rogers' style blends lyricism with philosophical meditation, making this an emotionally intriguing and intellectually stimulating collection. His connection to the natural world is visceral and immersive; he deftly evokes the exhilaration of love... Thresholds is an introspective collection that invites contemplation. -Kirkus Reviews Heard in Art is an unique book, a meeting of visual stimulus and poetic response that is among the most sensuous acts of ""hearing"" I know... I have been stunned and overwhelmed by Hoyt Rogers' luscious and melancholy investigation of eros and death, his greatest achievement to my mind. -Jonathan Galassi Poems about paintings broaden and deepen our understanding of their subjects; only the best ones, however, match their visual eloquence: sublimely, Hoyt Rogers' do. -Daniel Lawless Witnesses is a cry of love, suspended in time, with the terror and beauty of youth. The purity of its timbre evokes John Keats, but its vast respiration and bold roaming connect it mysteriously to Walt Whitman. It teaches us to take delight, all over again, in the marvel of utterance. -Anne Davenport Every poem is an island, surrounded by the ocean of language; these microcosmic works by Hoyt Rogers map a gleaming archipelago of words. -Pablo Báez
