"At the top of his form, Harvey is a true poet: he adds, in certain brief, magically elusive moments another dimension to reality."
-The Globe & Mail
"His poems are forceful and disturbing."
- Canadian Forum
"He's always interesting to read...his poems seem to materialize out of the thin air; they surprise by their sudden stabs at heart or conscience."
-Irving Layton
"His latest work uses a more fluid and complicated idiom, but the best of it mirrors the same black, oppressive world in which tenderness is a tiny but significant spark."
-Toronto Star
"His images have a certain cleanness and sophistication, expanded into imaginative expression."
- Montreal Gazette
"In Rolf Harvey's poems: there is a flow of emotional lava running under the word-surface; and there is a molten magma flowing cross-current beneath that - the effect is verbally volcanic, but under masterly control."
- Al Purdy
"Experiencing it go, the reader quivers with epiphanies. The mind is bombarded with images blowing reality open and a secret delight in the poet's act of sadism is savoured. There is an uncomfortable but resigned union with the truth he has uncovered."
- Windsor Star
