Weathers

Douglas Lochhead's poetry overflows with energy. Sharp observation of detail anchors his passionate sense of place, subtle irony and masterful form barely contain his uncompromising honesty, and his command of the poet's craft guides his attacks on the boundaries of meaning. In Weathers, more than ever before, he transmutes suffering and loss into a celebration of life and love. Douglas Lochhead is one of Canada's most distinguished men of letters, and Weathers presents choice selections from his work since 1985. In shaping this volume, he collaborated with David Creelman, who teaches Atlantic literature at the University of New Brunswick, Saint John. This collection shows the poet at the apex of his fifty-year writing career.
