The Sun the Wind the Summer Field gathers together a half-century of poetry by one of Canada's most distinguished men of letters. Some poems are the works of a young, strong voice applying T.S. Eliot's poetics to the Canadian ethos, while others give voice to old age, undiminished in power and enriched by experience. A few poems appeared in earlier books, a few others have been recently published in The Fiddlehead, The Cormorant, The Antigonish Review, and Wild East, but most have never been published before.
