Houghton's verse has been described as "a seamless modernization of Robert Frost." The characters of these poems show us glimpses of a spiritual world hidden, not in the forest paths and stone fences of New England, but in the equally rugged landscape of human relationships. The metrical discipline hidden within the seemingly natural speech of Houghton's characters reflects contemporary sensibilities in a transparent mirror of classical forms and structures. While a few of the poems have appeared previously in such publications as "The Living Church" and "The Classical Outlook," this is Houghton's first book-length collection of poetry -- a remarkable work of literature for the sophisticated reader of verse.
