It&#8217;s been our pleasure to publish a selection of Haynes&#8217; works over the last few years, ( in case of interest view Search or Categories at this site ). He&#8217;s a poet with a canny and unique expertise in the craftmanship of the classical sonnet dating from the Renaissance poets and a master of the lyrical mode but absolutely written in contemporary vogue. At times profoundly reflective and self effacing they saunter from the wry and whimsical to the depths of inner movement, whilst harvesting at all times a spectacular vocabulary in accompaniment.
