Etat : Very Good+. Chainsaws in the Cathedral gathers together the finest of Peter Trower's poems about the friendships and dangers of the West Coast logging life. The poems reveal Trower's marvelous tonal range, his ear attuned to the rhythms of the flesh and the wilderness.-Gathered together for the first time in one volume, Chainsaws in the Cathedral: Collected Woods Poems presents the finest poems, of West Coast logging life, in Peter Trower's career to date, including fifteen previously unpublished poems. The poems have been chosen from three decades of work, beginning with his mimeographed Poems from a Dark Sunday, as well as selections from the well-known Bush Poems and The Slidingback Hills. Many have been revised for this edition, and are arranged thematically to document the creative sources of his work and poetry, logging life on the Pacific Coast. But beyond the milieu of working life, portrayed in these poems, Chainsaws in the Cathedral reveals Trower to be a versatile and musical poet, his ear attuned to the rhythms of the flesh and the wilderness. Peter Trower is the representative poet of the West, whose achievement reflects the vastness of the wild British Columbian outdoors. N° de réf. du vendeur 16914
