Críticas
What makes him great is his constant openheartedness: he is not self-absorbed. His work explores a full range of feeling; he found much to celebrate and praise as well as to lament; he affirmed the good in life however limited. -- Karen Whitehall * Virginia Quarterly Review * Lucidity, precision, rhythmical poise, sentiment, intelligence and the rigours of a conscious craft that liberated the imagination - these were the poetic values James Wright cherished, and they remain the keynotes of Above the River, a splendid new edition of his work...His best poems, with their grace and intelligence, remain among the finest examples of the midcentury American lyric. -- J.D. McClatchy * New York Times Book Review *
