"Rolfe, it should be noted, is one of the politically committed poets whose work largely meets New Critical standards for producing formally coherent, metaphorically inventive, fully realized, and self-sufficient poems. That he is almost wholly excluded from our cultural memory demonstrates that political--not merely purportedly disinterested aesthetic--criteria have helped determine what poets we honor in our texts and literary histories." *Cary Nelson in his book Repression and recovery, modern American poetry and the politics of memory, 1910-1945 - p. 114.
