Field Marks: The Poetry of Don McKay

Cook, Méira (editor)

This volume features thirty-five of Don McKay's best poems, which are selected with a contextualizing introduction by Meira Cook that probes wilderness and representation in McKay, and the canny, quirky, thoughtful, and sometimes comic self-consciousness the poems adumbrate. Included is McKay's afterword written especially for this volume in which McKay reflects on his own writing process?its relationship to the earth and to metamorphosis.

Subjects: Poetry; Literary Criticism
