978-1-897430-73-7 Collected Poems 1951-2009 (poetry) 55.95
published 2010 508 pages
The label ‘Collected
Poems’ sounds definitive, but is flexible. For some poets it has
meant gathering everything they have written that manages to stay afloat;
for others, a snipping off here and there of ‘poor shoots’
(watershoots, perhaps). Yet others collect those poems they consider their
strongest, what they wish to be represented by posthumously. This last
is Mike Doyle's approach, creating a necessary collection gleaned from
six decades of poetry. |

to the immediate. |

978-1-897430-48-4 The
Watchman's Dance: Poems 2004-2009 (poetry) 21.95
published 2009 100 pages
Mike Doyle is one
our more significant poets, and all he chooses to tell is told so quietly
one marvels at the transparency of his art, as the complexity, variety,
and depth of his work are presented in deceptively simple and disarmingly
open contemplative poetry. The Watchman’s Dance is an urgent
and imaginitively vigorous book, perhaps his most accessible, mysterious
and immediately beautiful book. |
