Example: Comfort's catholicity of perception and image, strangely
Whitmanesque in range, almost the exact opposite in aesthetic compulsion,
continues to evoke that trembling atmospheric accumulative hinting at a
cruel, an inexorably serene timelessness . . .Wrey Gardiner scores by aiming
at simple bull's-eyes with precision. Only they are not so simple, and
through this contented sadness runs more than the surface bittersweet of
resignation." (Poetry Quarterly)
