Binyon further offers his correspondent his opinion of their work, along with some constructive criticism, 'There is plenty of technical accomplishment in your book, and force of feeling coming through it. The blank verse is vigorous & alive. You ask me to write candidly about 'faults'….I rather fancy that your poems have too much 'reason' in them, I mean that they seem to belong too much to the plane of the self-conscious reasoning mind which observes, argues & concludes; resulting sometimes in a rather prosaic cast of phrase. Of course that is all right in the satiric vein which you open up now & then….I suppose there may be wanting to your poems a certain newness & difference of voice which is what fixes attention: at least not sufficiently marked to impose itself. Many people try to get this by tricks & stunts so as to be thought original; but the only originality is the release of one's uniqueness. I think perhaps you accept phrases - possibly thoughts also - that come too easily & not from your own depths. I'm afraid I express myself very badly, & dislike criticising anyhow'. Binyon also informs his correspondent that he has recently been translating Dante '& have found it a marvellous discipline' and concludes by hoping that his remarks have not been unhelpful.
