His early work distinguished itself by combining lucid images from the natural world with a dreamy inwardness. An imagination of solitude inhabited a solitary landscape; if the sensibility relished an ascetic purity, the body presented itself in the mouth's pleasure of vowel and in the eye's exactness. The later work ... retains these qualities-- sense and imagination-- while it adds more of the world and more of Haines' rigorous intelligence. He writes with a hard instrument on a hard surface, making no disposable verses.” —\u003ci\u003eDonald Hall, The Nation\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“His poems require concentration, rereading, and knowledge beyond what they impart, but the extra effort is richly, religiously rewarded.” —\u003ci\u003eRay Olson, Booklist\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“If one views Haines' poetic development as a journey from the specific geography of the Alaskan wilderness to the uncharted places of the spirit, then that journey is now complete.” —\u003ci\u003eDana Gioia\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9781555972462\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Graywolf Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":40673436696782,"sku":"9781555972462","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/getimage_c4881510-a8ae-4896-992b-b60902af6f31.jpg?v=1639883476","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9781555972462","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
