Icelandic Solitaries
UQP 1978

'The poems of Icelandic Solitaries are invested with the language that precisely yields the texture of their setting - mental and physical. Open his slim volume to any page and you know instantly that here is a poet of the first order - one who makes connections, creates a synthesis of his culture and his insight with a structure appropriate to the subject he is handling...Gould compels a close reading; he provokes quotation; he encourages thought; he rewards the flexible ear and the remembering eye. These are attributes of an achieved poet; the special combination they form in the work of Alan Gould is rare in native Australian verse.'
Vernon Young, Parnassus - Poetry In Review (USA), Fall/Winter 1978

'Alan Gould's Icelandic Solitaries is the most striking collection.due to its consistency of style and tone. Or perhaps it is a broader consistency, one of concern spiritual and social, that develops the book's impact. Gould's brooding powers of observation hold the reader's attention.'
Pacific Moana Quarterly, Oct 1978
