The Poetry Archive describes his poetry as follows: There's a pressing sense of mortality in his work and a desire to ask the big questions, even as he satirises them. Drawn to the discipline of science, Goldsworthy's poems are full of the language of the laboratory —matter, evidence, elements, chemicals— the stuff we are made of, but at the same time frustrated by these limitations into asking what else we might be. He's interested in 'The Dark Side of the Head', the things we can only know in flashes, like glimpsing a skink, but he also retains a rationalist's scepticism of the ecstatic – that 'thoughtlessly exquisite' evening sky in 'Sunset' won't fool him into rapture. The Australian expatriate writer comments that Goldsworthy's poetry is often seen as a sideline, but argues that it is 'at the centre of his achievement'. James writes: His precise wit operates on every level, from the sonic (a concealed dove really does say hidden here, hidden here) to the conceptual (the human body really is packed tight like an attempt on the record of filling a Mini). The general impression is of a fastidious insistence that the particular comes first, and any general comment that follows had better be particular too.

Maestro Maestro First published in 1999, Maestro sold its 200,000th copy in Australia in 2008, and was published to great acclaim in Germany and Austria. Voted by members of the Australian Society of Authors as one of the Top 40 Australian Books of All Time, it was reissued in 2001 as part of the Angus&Robertson Classic series. Against the backdrop of Darwin - that small, tropical hothouse of a port, half outback, half oriental, lying at the tip of northern Australia - a young and newly arrived southerner, Paul Crabbe, encounters the 'maestro', a Viennese refugee with a shadowy past. The occasion is a piano lesson, the first of many.
Over the next two years, Paul learns more than he wishes to know about his teacher, and more than he wishes to know about himself.
