Still Life: and other poems (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781038369093)

The poems in this collection explore a life lived at the intersection of family, travel, daily observation, ecology, ageing and professional musings, experienced over seven decades by the writer who was blessed to be born in a country where anything is possible. Oh Canada!

One of the poems in this collection (also below), playfully encourages readers to find the poet within themselves.

How To Write a Poem

It's all in the way
you look at it.
It's not a photograph,
it's not all rhyme,
although it might be.
Reject
more than
you retain.
Punctuate
like a Rothko.
Finish before you need to.
Sprinkle magic as required.
Voila!
