Praise for Dark Horses:
"The poetry is mordant, funny, and even sometimes rather frightening; the poet, so much in control of his formal means." -- Emily Grosholz, Hudson Review
"These are beautiful poems by one of the best poets we have." -- Richard Moore, Sewanee Review
"Well, here he goes again, America's finest formalist, with a simply delightful collection of new poems." -- Paul Ruffin, Texas Review
"Kennedy's 'wit' is not mere cleverness. Rather it combines accuracy of perception with the metaphoric imagination that, with his ability to juggle fixed forms, enlivens the best poems in this satisfying collection... In these poems we are connected -- to the formal tradition, to the social and natural worlds in which we live, and to each other." -- Ghita Orth, New England Review
