Critical response
“We were talking about my exile from both poetry and the Republic . . .” Preferring instinct to the Internet, he also eschews formal education, and states, “Information is not experience. The map does not equal the territory. I don’t chill.”
"A stylistic violinist," writes Alexander Nouvel, PHD, Sorbonne, Cruickshank-Hagenbuckle’s poetry is "dark, baroque, and expressionistic...Wholly caught up in encounters with the Real, he addresses such with fury." The poet Bob Holman said of Cruickshank-Hagenbuckle’s first book of poetry&nb sp;Nuit Maudit, "Your crazy book is crazy!" Poet Lisa Jarnot writes of his second book of poems "Close to the Art of Those Fearless at Sea is haunted by a melody composed of a lover’s sigh, a mourner's longing, and a sailor's bawdy jokes."
