'Joseph Butler's first
full collection Hearthstone is stunning. It keeps to its
themes of violence and transformation, both human and material,
with an unbending clarity of vision and linguistic axactness. These
poems are all crafted things, with the stalwartness and grace of
perfect ironwork. They mark without question the appearnace of a
major talent'
