Reviews
What is there in David Morton's verse that seems to save it, that intervenes in moments of irritation with its punctional urbanity? There is not an original line in it. Not one cry, one intense expression comes from it; one vision that the poet has kept from his privileged dreaming, which can draw the mind an inch out of even the shallowest rut.[8]
