“He is a master of highly structured, traditional forms of poetry and he seems to inhabit the verse in a way that makes rhyme seem effortless. […] Burghauser is among the most competent poets I have read in recent years, and among the most satisfying.”

“I have really never come across a poet as consistently excellent as Burghauser. I bow to his genius, and were I U.S. President I should make him Poet Laureate.”
Alexander Waugh
“Jeffrey Burghauser's poetry tackles the eternal questions with verbal, intellectual and emotional precision.”
Theodore Dalrymple
“What stands out from first page to last is Burghauser’s style: a confident, brash, witty vernacular that never drops a line or skips a beat. Burghauser writes with an explosive comic brio that combines the raconteur’s unerring feel for pace and rhythm with the novelist’s sharp eye for the telling detail. He has perfect pitch for the narrative pulse and thrust of spoken English.”

“It is rare to find such a complete learned package in a person dedicated to helping students, rather than one focused on discourses and professional publications. […] He not only further developed a love of the subject area, but opened students’ eyes to the interconnections between disciplines, and the parallels between studied literature, history, and philosophy and the significance of current events and modern life. He brought an extra level of richness to their experiences and studies."
