 A Review From In Dissent: Cooper Renner   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
Nor did Starbuck suffer a revival (as far as I can tell) among the neo-formalists of the '80s and '90s-- an impossibility, really, since the neo's don't seem to have any use for anyone who wrote formally any earlier than the Reagan presidency.

 REVIEWS IN BRIEF / Visible Ink
George Starbuck, a dazzlingly clever and resourceful poet, had a thesaurus for a brain, so there aren't many recurring words in his work.
The poems in his posthumous collection, "Visible Ink," suggest influences ranging from George Herbert and L.E. Sissman to Rube Goldberg and the Wright brothers; they seem to have been composed at a drafting table rather than a desk.
Starbuck loved to revivify neglected and marginal poetic forms and to invent new ones.
