A Fine First Book of Poetry,
By A Customer
This review is from: What Really Matters (The Hugh Maclennan Poetry Series) (Paperback)
Thomas O'Grady's first collection of poems will not disappoint those who have followed his appearances in periodicals. The poems deal in a profound way with real questions, of which the most dominant is the theme of exile from the poet's native Prince Edward Island. There will no doubt be considerable resentment on the part of programmatic readers who hate either the subject matter of family life or the skilled use of fixed forms. Others will find little to object to. The workmanship is fine and the learning vast. O'Grady captures the speech patterns of the Irish diaspora far more accurately and artfully than the bogus and infinitely popular Frank McCourt. The book satisfies the reader in itself and promises other wonderful collections in the future.
