Böcker av Miriam Waddington

An anthology of verse from the Canadian poet, the first new book of poetry which she has published in over a decade.

Miriam Waddington's career as a writer began in the 1940s. In the years since, she has produced a body of work that has made her one of the most widely read poets in Canada. Her ninth collection-the first since Driving Home in 1972-is about light and silence, about places, and, most importantly, about solitude without loneliness, space without emptiness, death without fear. Her verbal discipline, imagery, warmth, toughness, and humour; her multicultural sympathies; her optimism and honesty-all are qualities that make her poetry fresh and intimate.
