"In this, his ninth book of poetry, Alden Nowlan reaffirms his position as one of Canada's foremost poets. A passionate observer of life, self-mocking and sensitive by turn, he illuminates everyday events with a clarity that allows their deeper realities to stand revealed. Nowlan's new collection discloses a heightened awareness of life, accentuated by a strong sense of the passage of time. With characteristic simplicity and rigorous honesty he writes of the quiet strength of love, the pain and absurd humour of lovers' quarrels; of old desires and the nostalgic memories of past times; of his reaction to being the subject of a 'realistic' documentary film; of the Jelly Bean Man who gives candy to children out of love, not evil; of the familiar dreams, fears, and fiascos of man's life. Nowlan's poetry invites the reader to share in a world that is ironic, yet filled with sympathy and understanding. His unpretentious view of life, his gentle humour and sense of the ridiculous make this a warm and personal collection."- Publisher Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Book.…
