Summary:
"A collaboration that brings together the poetry of acclaimed author David Adams Richards and award-winning writer
Margo
Wheaton
. Drawing upon a fiercely shared passion for the natural world - as well as a literary friendship that has spanned more than two decades - each of these New Brunswick-born writers pays powerful tribute to a rapidly disappearing rural way of life. Atmospheric and spare, these poems take us into a world of deep woods, abandoned fields, kitchen tables, and back roads. The book is divided into two sections, representing the unique voice and perspective of each author.
Wheaton
's section consists of two elegant lyric poems, as well as a fifteen-part sequence written in a poetic form known as 'ghazals.' Sorrowing and precise, the poems in this sequence survey the remains of her working-class childhood home, a once-thriving place, ravaged by family alcoholism and despair. Both celebratory and grieving, these poems grapple intensely with larger issues of working-class poverty, limited choices, and the chaotic legacy of addiction. The book's opening section gathers together twenty lyric poems by Richards, each one steeped in his own direct, visceral experience of his beloved Miramichi. Bold, plain-spoken, and elegiac, these deeply felt poems explore the grand terrain of love and loss and are marked with the same purposefulness, acuity, and compassion that appear in Richards' fiction. Alike and different, these two writers share a devotion to the physical landscapes of New Brunswick and call us to fiercely cherish the beauty of rural life and experience."--From publisher.
