The "finest of all our poets",
By
This review is from: Naked with Summer in Your Mouth Poems (Paperback)
This, one of the last volumes of poetry by one of Canada's most loved poets, is a collection of mature poems, as Purdy writes frankly and beautifully of aging, of the loss of friends, of having "booked passage onto that dark ship". Purdy's poems transverse the Canadian landscape and pay homage to the various writers and lovers who have touched him: Margaret Lawrence, Yeats, Milton Acorn, Stan Rogers. In this collection he amuses us ("Concerning Ms. Atwood") and writes so truthfully ("In the Desert", "On Being Human") that we are seared with pain.
