Anotace
Powerful, exquisite, and intricately crafted, His Life: A Poem, George Bowering's stunning new poetic memoir spans and reconfigures 30 years of this award-winning writer's life. A thoroughly unique project, vintage Bowering, His Life began to take shape in the early eighties. Bowering explains that at that time a young Sicilian in Toronto presented him with a fine Italian writing book with lines and rounded quarters. He put the gift away, saving it until it was needed for a poem. The time came a few years later. In the late eighties, Bowering began rifling his diaries for what he had recorded on the equinoxes and solstices between the years 1958 and 1988. Whatever he'd recorded on those days became the building blocks for the poems in this collection. Ten years after beginning the project, more than 40 years after first recording information about the people, places, and events upon which the poems are based, His Life has taken on a life of its own, bent and reshaped by experience, time, and revision.
