Hollo is an epic poet. . . .
Against explosions of carnage and fear, there is a persistence that is as close to heroic as I can imagine. Improvisational humor, smarter n paint, counterpoints a profoundly mortal pulse. He writes . . . With a sense of line derived from Williams and Creeley and a sense of humor straight from the New York school, he captures the possibilities of transient moments, becoming both commentator and object of comment. A master at blending ironic wit and sentimentality, Hollo s work never loses its bittersweet sense of song.
