 Review by Carol Frost   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Haines’ unflinching vision is not comforting; an initial reading of the poems reveals little warmth—yet the poems feel necessary, essential to our understanding of the world we’re shaping for ourselves and our children.
Haines looks dispassionately at money and politics, often using machines as metaphors for the cool surface of life that so often distracts us from a more rewarding inner life.
In "Snow" Haines remembers being "a student, solitary, wandering/ the Sunday silence of Wall Street,// a snowstorm that buried the city." The image recalls the image of the "idle paper/ shredded and tossed aside" but the snow is warmer than the paper.

 NewPages Book Review - A Gradual Twilight by John Haines
Deceptively simple and startlingly crisp poetry about the land: this is what has given noted Alaskan poet John Haines his reputation.
I found myself re-reading Haines’ work as I read through the book, looking up pieces that were referenced and re-thinking the depth of some of his poetry.
As many this book’s contributors point out, Haines’ separation from what some might term the “academic machine” (Haines was often a visiting teacher but never a tenured college professor) enabled him to keep his voice remarkably pure, lacking in either the smugness or overt irony that was common in his contemporaries.
