An anti-poet relentlessly, even ruthlessly determined to tell the truth, however painful it may be. --Edward Hirsch

Striking . . . chilling. . . . [Rozewicz's work] embodies that particular anxiety and familiar sense of diminishment we still associate with being 'modern.'

Striking ... chilling... [Rozewicz's work] embodies that particular anxiety and familiar sense of diminishment we still associate with being 'modern.' Rozewicz is that rare character-a skeptic as full of passion as of intelligence, of warmth as wariness. -- judges' citation, Griffin Poetry Prize Instead of answers, the poet offers only an examination. Like it or not, he says, this is all we have: a fragment, a glimpse, a rustle.
