Sinopsis
"Once in a long while, a collection of poems comes along that takes its place immediately on the permanent shelf. Using his home ground of Canada's Maritimes as a template for the larger universal concerns, Brent MacLaine does honour to both areas of attention. Herein is work of clear-headed insight into the natural world -- and into human nature -- rendered masterfully in poetry of the highest order." -- Michael Harris
"Living 'closer to the land than some,‘ MacLaine evokes a world with subtle wit and sharpened vision. Here is poetry that gets its boots muddy." -- Anne Simpson

De la contraportada
Brent MacLaine's poems are rooted in the history and landscape of his native Prince Edward Island. At the same time, his is a poetry without roots; MacLaine belongs to the first generation that is not farming the land. He has a remarkable ability to graft a rural past to a keen sense of contemporary culture, its urban habits and its popular entertainments, its scientific theories and its technological mythologies.
These Fields Were Rivers presents an astonishing range in mood and idea, the poems shaped by the poet's nimble attention to his quotidian world.

Paperback. Condición: New. Brent MacLaine's poems, like the poet himself, are rooted in the history and landscape of Prince Edward Island. Yet, MacLaine possesses a remarkable ability to graft rural values to contemporary culture, with its urban habits and popular entertainments, its scientific theories and technological mythologies. MacLaine belongs to the first generation of Islanders not farming the land, and his poems explore his uneasy relationship with the patch of earth where he lives. He follows the island contours in an expansive sweep across the fields and into the woods; he also shares an islander's sense of confinement, bound into a small place by the sea and the red cliffs. The island before human existence, the coming of European settlers, or the stubbled ground tilled by his father are as readily available to his fertile imagination as meteorological patterns, modern art, or The Odyssey. Using his Maritime home as template for larger universal concerns, MacLaine offers clear-headed insight into the natural world - and into human nature - in an astonishing range of poems shaped by his nimble attention to his quotidian world.
