From Library Journal:
Haxton is one of a growing number of younger poets whose work is less concerned with things or ideas than with the act of meditating on them. The contemplative consciousness itself takes center stage ("I sit for hours/ Watching with the potted plants"), but rarely is it embroiled in any readily discernible spiritual or emotional struggle. Instead, one senses inertia, a curious lack of youthful momentum. In Haxton's favor, he shows some talent for music ("the gold whorl of a winded elm unwinds") and wit, but many of his formal poems have an awkward, archaic ring: "My thoughts like indecipherable stone/ I read all day, and neither laugh nor weep." Less bountiful than his previous collection, Dominion ( LJ 4/1/86), this one too frequently suffers from a troubling emptiness.
