In 1974, noted Canadian critic Frank Davey said that John Newlove had developed 'one of the most direct and visually precise styles in twentieth-century poetry.' Here Newlove is at his finest in a collection of sharply honed, direct, and ruthlessly honest poems of intense feeling, observation, and involvement. Newlove writes from the perspective of a true craftsman who insists that the clarity of his vision be respected in every word he puts in print.
John Newlove (1938-2003) was born and raised in Saskatchewan. He began publishing while working various jobs in Vancouver in the 1960s. His many honours included the 1972 Governor General's Award for his book Lies, and the Saskatchewan Writers' Guild Founders' Award. His works have been internationally published and translated.
