Robert Duncan’s emphasis, that ‘responsibility is the ability to respond,’
is honored with a consistent clarity.
Robert Creeley
 
As in his poetry, Leonard Schwartz’s criticism manages to bring body
and sensibility to the forefront as that ultimate frontier against which
all great intellectual adventures must test themselves.
Richard Foreman

The nature of the SOUL is fully revealed in our time. Though Schwartz
may modestly veil it in terms like “transcendental lyric” make no mistake:
this is raw soul brought up from the deep and placed virtuously on our plates.
All those who are hungry may eat. 
David Rosenberg
