John, thanks for writing the review and posting a link here. I've been reading his poems in journals for over 40 years, and your piece better highlights his humanity and development than any I've seen before now. I do recall an interesting interview with him from several years ago, but I can't bring to mind the interviewer's name or where it was published. I'd seldom mistake his work for anyone else's.
I'm saddened to hear of his illness, but I nonetheless wish him (and you) the best.
