"For what a long time Reed Whittemore has been a central figure in our national letters -- his whole career has been one brave protest against dullness and stodginess." -- X.J. Kennedy, Author of The Lords of Misrule Poems, 1992-2001
"Where does one find a Reed Whittemore nowadays? A first-rate poet, critic, editor and teacher. An intolerance for cant. All that is valuable in the literary life shines in this single singular writer." -- Roger Rosenblatt, author of Lapham Rising: A Novel and Essayist for PBS News Hour "In Pure Lives and Whole Lives, Reed Whittemore has produced two of the finest books on the art of biography that I have ever read." -- Sherwin Nuland, Author of How We Die and Maimonides
"I recognize a true Yankee in this man, the sort of Yankee Mark Twain would have loved: direct and modest to the point of wryness. Feel free to laugh, but be sure to take him seriously." -- Henry Allen, Pulitzer Prize for Criticism and author of Going Too Far Enough
