Reviews
The Guardian, Jeremy Noel-Tod 16/09/06'It's the perfect vehicle for John Haynes's ambitious and brilliant Letter to Patience'. 'Technically, the quickened but controlled pace of Letter to Patience's terza rima is remarkable'. 'Haynes's reflections are consistently mindful and sophisticated'. 'Haynes is the equal of Muldoon, Heaney or Hill, while his philosophical self-effacement is all of his own. Full of wit, learning and humanity, this is wide writing that ought to be widely known'. Poetry review, George Szirtes October 2006-10-10"Haynes's is a masterful work of both heart and head""Human, tangible, capable of deep feeling, understanding, interpretation and intellectual wonder at the same time". "Letter to Patience is a marvellous book, an exemplar of sorts; as for the virtuosity it is entirely at the service of a vision".
