'In Elizabeth Morton’s poems nothing is certain, except that they create and occupy a vivid and mysterious world.' C.K. Stead, New Zealand Poet Laureate, 2017. 'Elizabeth Morton’s Wolf is a darting, vigourous collection of poems that shift perspective from piece to piece to create a vivid sense of the human animal, where wild instinct clashes with the given order of things.' Claire Mabey, Landfall Review Online, 1 October 2017
