When the NYQ suspended publication several years ago, we lost
one of the few literary magazines which I found I could read
with either regularity or pleasure. Combining sharp intelligence
with liveliness, it maintained a level of excellence quite beyond
the reach of most current publications. Better still, it contained
almost none of the sludge one finds in many magazines. Thus
I can only rejoice at the announcement that it has resumed publication
and heartily wish it every success.
— W. D. Snodgrass
If every poetry magazine in English and
American were to be swallowed up by the computer tomorrow, leaving
only the NYQ, we would still have the totality of all that is
salvageable and representative of modern and contemporary poetry.
— Karl Shapiro
The New York Quarterly is an amazing, intelligent, crazy, creative,
strange, and indispensable magazine. William Packard surely
must be one of the great editors of our time.
— James Dickey

The NYQ merely has the finest format
and content in the land. |
| 2. |
The NYQ is a bloody miracle. No more,
no less. |
| 3. |
The NYQ publishes the best in all
schools of poetry and criticism. |
| 4. |
Promulgated to go forward with guts
and style. |
| 5. |
Poetry is not dead. Only the idea
of what poetry should be is dead. The NYQ gives us a new
transfusion of the written word, something to astound,
entertain and delight you. |

New York Quarterly serves an invaluable
function — and that is finding and publishing wonderful
talents — such as Douskey, Antler, Pennant, Lifshin,
Inez, Moriarty — who may not have the recognition
that their work richly deserves.
— Galway Kinnell
The New York Quarterly is valuable and lively
. . . it belies and supersedes its name, and
can be enjoyed anywhere.
— Richard Eberhart
Ebullience and catholicity and vigor are
the signature qualities of the New York Quarterly; for fifty
issues it has been one of the first places to go for the new
and the old, the solid and the offbeat, and for fine interviews.
— Michael McClure
