excerpt:
Summer by Robert Melancon (translated by P. Stratford)Sun binds down
lilacs stirred by wind;
each leaf holds up
the whole sky. A warbler,
brief fruit, shakes loose
a rush of blue.
The sense of where we belong in the Canadian landscape has inspired our painters and poets. This collection of twenty-three poems includes word images by Atwood, Colombo, Souster, Birney, and Cohen. They are matched with the paintings of the Group of Seven to create a wonderful tribute to art and letters in Canada.
Highly recommended.
