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.
