Donald Justice wrote of Bolton's poems: "Effortlessly they transcend the merely anecdotal; they are always edging towards something emblematic. And they can be immensely moving in their modesty." A beautiful and dark cycle of verse, full of loss, winter and poverty, yet transcendent in its language and clear-eyed vision.
