INTERVIEW WITH CHRISTOPHER RICKS ABOUT THE LYRICS Dylan Review Vol. 1.2. Winter 2019, Interviews Christopher Ricks spoke to DR about The Lyrics., co-edited in 2014 with Lisa Nemrow and Julie Nemrow of Un-Gyve Press. "There are great American traditions of pretending that the printed page is a performing art, so Whitman goes on and on revising, and Henry James goes on and on."

John Crowe Ransom’s Quarrel with Himself The Hudson Review Spring 2016 (Volume LXIX, No. 1) Robert Archambeau — "Almost thirty years ago, Ransom’s biographer Thomas Daniel Young spoke of the urgent need for a variorum edition of Ransom’s poetry, and only now, with the appearance of Ben Mazer’s Collected Poems of John Crowe Ransom, do we have one. It is a shame that it took so very long for someone to answer Young’s call, but it is a boon to all who care for
Ransom’s work that Mazer was the one to do so: his scrupulously
edited book includes all of Ransom’s textual variants in detailed
end notes."

Classic Ransom The Hopkins Review Volume 9, Number 1, Winter 2016 Ryan Wilson — "Certainly, lay-readers and scholars alike, both of the present and of the future, owe Mr. Mazer a debt of gratitude for his formidable editorial achievement."
