“What Koestenbaum has achieved, perhaps better than any other contemporary poet, is linguistic fecundity combined with hyper-fastidiousness. Words seem to fall out of his mind and through his pen at breakneck speed without undermining the deeper aesthetic experience. ... The psyche is dangerous terrain, and Koestenbaum is, among all his other accolades, an exceptionally brave explorer.”
—Cody Delistraty, Poetry Foundation
“He’s a scamp, he’s a seer, and he’s a virtuoso.”
—Margo Jefferson
“Does contemporary American literature offer any greater pleasure than the polymorphous brilliance of Wayne Koestenbaum?”
—Garth Greenwell
“[Wayne Koestenbaum] is a figure of this time, but he also is a writer and thinker for all time.”
—Maggie Nelson
“Koestenbaum is an exuberant critic, enraptured poet, intoxicated historian.”
—Brian Dillon, Frieze
