“Kearney is one of those unsung cats who has been producing intelligent thoughtful snarly deeply musical poetry, deeply felt wryly wrought astute poetry of the first rank for decades for a select fewyoure in for a rare treat.”David Meltzer

“His ear is uncanny, tuned with perfect fidelity to culture high and low, to all the temptations of language and heaven. His curiosity about form and metric have turned his work into a palace of music; its a poetry so melodic and harmonically inventive as to approach the aural splendor of, say, Charlie Parkers Birdland . . .”Kevin Killian

“The principle of Larry Kearneys art is permeability. He doesnt reference the world, he reveals its essential poetry. Nothing is not included.”Rick London
