They all have something to say,
and I think he has enriched English
poetry with a new language that
makes us all seem somehow anti–
quated.... This is something new
and imperishable." - ROBERT
LOWELL

COLLECTED POEMS
". . • They are full of lovely
cadences and images, full of na–
tural song, like poems written by
a man whose native language
must rhyme to be understood. . ..
In these poems . . . Hodgson has
brought a new music
to
the
trimeter and tetrameter lines.•.."
