Raine’s imagistic reconditioning of a lifeless cliché replaces the subjunctive tense of What if...?” with the present tense, and in the process he provides an unmistakably contemporary representation of human social alienation.
Raine’s adaptations of works by Dante, Arthur Rimbaud and Marina Tsvetayeva use previous poems as points of departure to explore the themes of emotional stimulation and sexual passion that overarch his career.

As a poet the youngish Craig Raine was on fire, metaphorically speaking.
Raine is right to damn much of Joseph Brodsky's output, but his failure explicitly to exempt A Part of Speech from this judgment indicates a willingness to fudge in the interest of polemical cudgelling.
As mediated by Raine, Eliot's subtle remark is used - coarsely - to suggest that a preoccupation with ideas is a symptom of artistic coarseness.

Craig Raine's poetry never seemed to partake of that: I can't imagine him green.
Raine's criticism, in the second of these gargantuan volumes, serves his poetry much more than most poets' criticism does, but, in its favour, you don't have to subscribe to the greatness of the poetry to enjoy and profit from at least some of the reviews and talks (rather grandly left unspecified) collected here.
It is easy to imagine they were all written by Raine; literature comes to seem like a huge, shattered mirror in whose shards he sees his own reflection.

Throughout Craig Raine's seventeen-stanza poem several functional devices become apparent with defamiliarisation being the most prominent.
Raine also utilises alienation to enable the audience to observe Earth and human behaviour from a Martian's "alien" point of view.

 Glasgow Citizens Theatre - "1953"
For the rational and classical austerity of language which Racine's characters deploy with such violent eloquence, Raine has sutstituted the literate and urbane style of modern English high-class parlance, often ironic and sometimes effete.
What Raine does is to transpose the story of Andromaque, the capured widow of the Trojan hero Hector to Rome in the year 1953.
Raine's flinty, agile poetry, a fluent mix of contrasting metre, ingenious rhyming, regional variations and fruity slang, is ignited by the concentration of the performances, which are notably led by Greg Hicks as the emotionally unstable Orestes, a callously impulsive Nazi general.

 Variety.com - Reviews - 1953
In adapting and updating Racine's 1667 "Andromaque," poet Craig Raine mutates the innate rigor of neo-classical French alexandrines into a language at once highbrow and lowdown.
In Raine's revisionist hand, Racine's play has been advanced from the aftermath of the Trojan War to post-WWII Rome and the Mussolini Palace.
Raine's rhetoric is high-flown to a fault and then suddenly down and dirty, as if to prove these are real people, too, even if they do pose rhetorical questions about Hegelian dialectic.
