In an essay titled "Poetry: Schools of Dissidents," the academic poet Daniel Hoffman wrote, in The Harvard Guide to Contemporary American Writing, which he edited, that as he grew older, Creeley's work tended to become increasingly fragmentary in nature, even the titles subsequent to For Love: Poems 1950–1960 hinting at the fragmentation of experience in Creeley's work: Words, Pieces, A Day Book.
V jednej eseji nazvanej "Poetry: Schools of Dissidents," akademický básnik Daniel Hoffman napísal v The Harvard Guide to Contemporary American Writing, ktorý editoval, že ako odrasteného staršieho básnika Creeleyho jeho práca smeruje stať sa čím ďalej tým viac fragmentárnou vo svojej podstate, dokonca tituly v zbierke „For Love: Poems 1950-1960“ kolíšu smerom k fragmentárnosti zážitku v básňach: Words, Pieces, A Day Book.
