Read a sample Read a sample
Alden Nowlan once wrote of a desire to leave behind “one poem, one story / that will tell what it was like / to be alive.” In an abundance of memorable poems, he fulfilled this desire with candour and subtlety, emotion and humour, sympathy and truth-telling. Nowlan has been one of Canada's most-read and beloved poets, but only now is the true range of his poetic achievement finally available in Collected Poems of Alden Nowlan. Taking us from nightmarish precincts of fear and solitude to the embrace of friendship and family, he delves into experiences of violence and gentleness, of alienation and love.
