Other comments on Wagoner's earlier works: \"Wagoner has the visual acuity of his loved hawks and a lifelong absorption with living and growing things. A lovely wit and a lively intelligence inform these poems.\" -- Maxine Kumin \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"When Wagoner looks at something, he brings it to vivid and immediate life through an extraordinary power with a simple name: love. He is as formally various as Thomas Hardy, as playful as Dickinson, as wry as Frost.\" -- Dave Smith \u003cbr\u003e \"A sharp-eyed, even gutsy nature poet, the deftest and tenderest of love poets, Wagoner is a verbal magician capable of surprising, sometimes crazy tours de force.\"-- X.
