"Anyone who wants to know the best in contemporary poetry can't do better than start with Timothy Steele. Among those younger American poets still working in time-tested forms, he stands clearly preeminent. For all their technical brilliance, now so rare, these poems don't merely show off; they say intelligent things triumphantly, in words that look dug in to endure." -X.J. Kennedy
"Timothy Steele seems to me one of the very best young poets now writing. He has an easy, unforced mastery of form...[and] that truth and warmth of feeling which is sometimes denied to the formalist; and he has an exceptional range of theme and tone, encompassing the homely and the sophisticated." -Richard Wilbur
"Timothy Steele's poems are energetic at all points, and solid without being heavy. I can't think of any poet active in this country who writes stanzaic poetry so well. He speaks to me as a contemporary, and I never feel he has chosen to do so in meter for any other reason than that by doing to he can make his speech more forceful." -Thom Gunn
