About this title

Synopsis:

The Sun the Wind the Summer Field shows the wit, intellect, and skill with words and rhyme for which Alfred G. Bailey is famous. This collection gathers together a half-century of poems. Some are the works of a young, strong voice applying the poetics of T.S. Eliot to the Canadian ethos, while others give voice to old age, undiminished in power and enriched by experience.

Some of the poems in The Sun the Wind the Summer Field have appeared in The Fiddlehead, The Cormorant, and Wild East, but most have never been published before.

From the Inside Flap:

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.
