Inhaltsangabe

"Once in a long while, a collection of poems comes along that takes its place immediately on the permanent shelf. Using his home ground of Canada's Maritimes as a template for the larger universal concerns, Brent MacLaine does honour to both areas of attention. Herein is work of clear-headed insight into the natural world -- and into human nature -- rendered masterfully in poetry of the highest order." -- Michael Harris

"Living 'closer to the land than some,‘ MacLaine evokes a world with subtle wit and sharpened vision. Here is poetry that gets its boots muddy." -- Anne Simpson

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Brent MacLaine's poems are rooted in the history and landscape of his native Prince Edward Island. At the same time, his is a poetry without roots; MacLaine belongs to the first generation that is not farming the land. He has a remarkable ability to graft a rural past to a keen sense of contemporary culture, its urban habits and its popular entertainments, its scientific theories and its technological mythologies.

These Fields Were Rivers presents an astonishing range in mood and idea, the poems shaped by the poet's nimble attention to his quotidian world.
