- Hugh Kenner,
Tomlinson's perfected style has been little imitated, but I predict it will come to be seen as one of the major achievements of late twentieth-century English verse.
Times Literary Supplement
Tomlinson's poetry gives a refreshing rustle or seething to the words which bespeak the entrance of a new life.
- William Carlos Williams,
A patient looker at landscape.
- Willard Spiegelman,
A master of the craft, his poems have the finality of form which you find only among the first-rate.
- Donald Hall,
He is fascinated—with his eyes open: a lucid fascination—at the universal busyness, the continuous generation and degeneration of things.
- Octavio Paz,
Tomlinson, 76, is a painter as well as a poet, and his artist's eye serves him well in his poetry.... This book in fact records a well-planned poetic itinerary.
- Frank Wilson, The Philadelphia Inquirer
Reading Charles Tomlinson makes one acutely aware that there's a whole world outside—and inside too—just waiting to be noticed, and that the more we notice, the more we are enriched.
