Literary influences and praise
In an interview with
Frank O’Hara, between the confessional (where I started) and the social (where I have aimed myself)".[6]
In a 2002 citation regarding Hoagland's award in Literature,
The American Academy of Arts and Letters said that "Hoagland's imagination ranges thrillingly across manners, morals, sexual doings, and kinds of speech lyrical and candid, intimate as well as wild."[1]
In 2010, Dwight Garner, a New York Times critic, wrote of Mr. Hoagland: “His erudite comic poems are backloaded with heartache and longing, and they function, emotionally, like improvised explosive devices: The pain comes at you from the cruelest angles, on the sunniest of days.”[2]
