The Write Idea

[Ottawan]

I have just launched Bring Me My Arrows; Poems Tracing the Spectrum Between Doubt and Certainty — still available only from myself (CAN$15 + postage.)
Forms of religious observation devised and imposed by others must always prove to be inadequate. The poems in Bring Me My Arrows reflect the author's decades of struggle between an insistent belief in William Blake's spiritual Jerusalem and the need for a rational expression of it.
George Elliott Clarke, currently Canada's Parliamentary Poet Laureate, likes it. He detects the "metaphysical and theological concerns" of T.S. Eliot's Four Quartets, in verse that is "quiet-toned, introspective, and confident in Art."
