„Fátt studdi meira við endurnýjun íslenskrar ljóðlistar á sjötta og sjöunda áratugnum en safnbókin 'Erlend nútímaljóð'. Hér hefur Eiríkur Örn Norðdahl leikið sama leik, valið og þýtt ljóð eftir núlifandi útlend skáld. Án efa verður efni bókarinnar yngri sem eldri lesendum innblástur, fyrir utan að hún sýnir okkur að enn einu sinni lifum við á gullöld ljóðsins.” – Sjón
"Few things supported the regeneration of Icelandic poetry in the fifties and sixties more than the collection "Foreign modern poetry". Here, Eiríkur Örn Norðdahl, has played the same game, and chosen and translated poems by living foreign poets. Without a doubt the material in this book will be an inspiration to both young and older writers, besides showing us that once again we live in the golden age of the poem." – Sjón
