The Collected Poems of Alden Nowlan

By Ross Leckie

I only met Alden Nowlan once in my life. I was undergraduate in Montreal and it was announced that he was coming to read, so I took all of his books out of the library. I remember that he was an imposing man with a resonant voice that had a slight rasp. I was hopelessly shy, so after the reading I approached him and said, Mr. Nowlan, I have read all your books,” to which he replied, “Thank you,” and then I scurried out the door.
