> An antipodean Larkin with good manners, Haskell is a new kind of Australian
> poet, a mile-high-sky traveller, speeding on trains, stepping over countries,
> a 21st century transnational whose poems feel their way into an 'ordinariness'
> he has set as his goal.

> Shirley Geok-lin Lim

> self-regarding… It makes for painful reading, but is also a kind of
> liberation.

> David Malouf (personal correspondence)

> Haskell's shaping of language is highly skilful ... the language is heightened
> just that notch at the appropriate moment ... for the poetry to singe the
> reader's senses, jolt the mind or open a new window of perception on to the
> world.
