"Selwyn Pritchard's poems...seem to me to have the right, out of wit and invention, to rebuke all non-combative ameliorists like myself."

- Peter Porter

Pritchard...is a learned man who cries from the heart in lines that ring and sting and stay."

- Stanley Middleton

"You pick it up, you get in there, you can't put it down."

- Peter Finch, Planet
