The Essential Richard Outram

The Essential Richard Outram is an elegant, affordable selection of poems by one of Canada's great poets. By turns theatrical and philosophical – and often both at once – Outram is always intimately attuned to the wonders and the workings of language. This volume gathers well-loved lyrics alongside poems unpublished in Outram's lifetime: there is much here for both long-time readers of Outram's work and readers new to his oeuvre.
