Almost Complete Poems is magnificent. I've read it with greater and greater pleasure. Its verbal generosity and bravura, its humanity, the quality and quantity of information which it integrates into poetry of the highest order make it a continuing delight.' Marilyn Hacker 'Open Almost Complete Poems anywhere, and you will come shockingly upon wisdom and beauty . . . Of the generation that is gradually leaving us, those born in the mid and late 1920s - Bly, Levine, Kinnell, Rich, Kumin, O'Hara, Cooper, Ferry, Ashbery, Merwin, Gilbert, Wright, myself - he has a prominent place.' Gerald Stern 'Again and again, coming upon a poem of Stanley Moss's, I have had the feeling of being taken by surprise. Not simply by the eloquence or the direct authenticity of the language, [but also] the nature of his poetry itself, and from the mystery that his poems confront and embody, which makes them both intense and memorable . . . ' W.S. Merwin 'Moss rewrites the received idea of religion and the religious poet: his psalms may be exactly the new songs needed to illuminate sombre new times.' Carol Rumens, Guardian
