Though it seems curiously truncated at the end, there is a favorable, enthusiastic review of Mark Scroggin's biography of Louis Zukofksy in the Sunday New York Times Book Review.
Would also suggest taking a look John Latta's recent blog posts on the Scroggins bio.

Latta goes after it (enthusiastically) a bit more like a humming bird in a flower farm - but, as usual, I find Latta much better on the works that he loves, rather than when he is all tangled up with love-hate resentments of Lang-Po - or so it seems to me - in his readings of the Grand Piano series. But credit due, it is good to see somebody with such visceral responses to the act of reading -
