| Summary |
This volume features thirty-five of Don McKays best poems, which are selected with a contextualising introduction by Mira Cook that probes wilderness and representation in McKay, and the canny, quirky, thoughtful, and sometimes comic self-consciousness the poems adumbrate. Included is McKay's afterword written especially for this volume in which McKay reflects on his own writing process -- its relationship to the earth and to metamorphosis. |
