reviews

Although evidently not composed as a sequence, these fifteen poems are related in themes and images.

This booklet is the third in a series published by Jay Macpherson, of which the first two items were Five Poems, 1954, by Daryl Hine, and O Earth Return, by Miss Macpherson herself.

In these poems, P.K. Page observes the process she describes in 'Photos of a Salt Mine.'

Mr Irving Layton is certainly the most prolific of modern Canadian poets - he now has eight volumes to his credit - and in many ways he is the most powerful.

The vision of Paradise has always haunted man.

There are sixteen poems in this little collection and one of them ('Last Days') is memorable.

These three chapbooks represent three phases of poetry in Canada today.

In a lovely format, Miss Macpherson has published the lyrics which won her the E.J. Pratt Prize for poetry at the University of Toronto last year.

'There are no easy signposts, only a lonely road / That each one travels with his suffering.'

Neat, gentle satire and careful, precise handling of genuine emotion combine to make this book a delight to read.
