Dave's review is obviously better if you want to know more about the poet and the book. Orr's is more like using the book as an excuse to publish an opinion piece, which seems to be a trend among reviews (my own book being on the receiving end of this kind).

Cameron highlights an interesting point that Orr makes, and one that I have noticed among Hecht's work, as well as and by extension Wilbur's. Orr alludes to whatever reason it is that I do not find Hecht, or usually Wilbur, moving, whether emotionally or spiritually, despite the many allusions to the war or religion.
