Carol Johns stated: This eclectic collection, Elliot's best, demonstrates a maturing of his personal style with his clear masculine vision of the world. His gift for observation of mundane, sometimes ugly details, shows readers that stories are everywhere around us. Elliot, refreshingly, is not a self-absorbed poet-he offers precise snapshots and lets his readers experience their own conclusions. While he creates scenes of great natural beauty "setting summer sun blazes bright as it slowly spirals into the western sky," he is a master of cityscapes "smog smolders like poisonous gas" and the ordinary people that inhabit them. As the antiestablishment beat poets before him, his work is gritty, sometimes angry, and skeptical, but unlike the others, his work exudes a warmth and compassion for the human condition. He provides a record of a scene, choosing the right words that will make his readers feel the unspoken sorrow or joy of what they have been shown.
