Unknown Author

4.9/5 (18651 ratings)

Description:The much-loved, yet undervalued, final book of poems by British-Canadian poet John Thompson, is reissued in a handsome edition, featuring a new introduction by Rob Winger. Originally published in 1978, Stilt Jack is a series of powerful soliloquies on the complexity of love and the process of living. These are made immediate through Thompson’s command of metaphor, his eye for the New Brunswick landscape, his intense, often elliptical way of transfiguring everyday things into shorthand symbols of reality. This remarkable sequence of poems is based on the ghazal , an ancient Persian poetic form which is discussed in Thompson’s introduction to the original edition of the book. These poems more than fulfill the promise of Thompson’s first collection, At the Edge of the Chopping There Are No Secrets . Stilt Jack is the last testament of a major poet at the pinnacle of his craft.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
