John Thompson: Collected Poems and Translations Paperback - 1995
by Peter Sanger (Editor)
From the rear cover
During John Thompson's all-too-brief lifetime, he completed only two volumes of poetry, At the Edge of the Chopping There Are No Secrets and Stilt Jack, but seldom has such a slim oeuvre supported such a large reputation. In these remarkable poems, Thompson seeks out the darkest places of the heart and floods them with light. Confessionally raw, oblique and beautiful, Thompson's poetry -- and in particular, his experiments in Stilt Jack with adapting the ghazal. A poetic form with Persian and Arabian origins -- has influenced three generations of poets.
This revised and updated edition of John Thompson: Collected Poems and Translations, edited and introduced by Peter Sanger, gathers together all of Thompson's mature work, including not only his two books, but also previously uncollected poetry and Thompson's haunting translations of several of his French Canadian contemporaries and the great French poet Ren Char.
