What F. Olson failed to notice was, in short, the voice. Donaghy's poems are always elegant. They have sometimes staggering emotional depth, and range. They are models of concision. And often very, very funny.
Look, I'm not proud of that old review. As a result, I abandoned the publication of Hierophant .
