Synopsis

With A Thief of Impeccable Taste Glen Sorestad adds to his growing stature as one of Canada's most enduring poets. The poems of this new volume reflect those qualities for which his poetry is so well known - the carefully honed language with which he treats everyday matters, alongside the trademark generosity of spirit with which he views life. Whether he is writing about people or places, the aging body or the beauty of fresh fallen snow, a loose lock of hair or puzzled geese, he impresses upon us through his poems the importance of making time to pay attention to the world around us. Sorestad transforms the ordinary into the memorable. A Thief of Impeccable Taste is poetry for people who may not think of themselves as poetry readers. Con Un Ladrón de impecable buen gusto, Glen Sorestad crece en su condición de uno de los poetas más perdurables de Canadá. Los poemas de este volumen reflejan esas cualidades por las que su poesía es tan conocida: el lenguaje cuidadosamente afinado con el que trata los asuntos cotidianos combinado con esa distinguida generosidad de espíritu con que anda por la vida. Bien sea cuando escribe de gentes o de lugares, el cuerpo que envejece, la belleza de la nieve recién caída, una guedeja suelta o gansos enigmáticos, a través de sus poemas Glen nos impacta con la importancia de hacer tiempo para prestar atención al mundo a nuestro alrededor. Un Ladrón de impecable buen gusto es poesía para los que no se consideran a sí mismos lectores de poesía.
