Description

Winter Walk: A Collection of Poems, is the debut book of poetry from Canadian poet Brian Wood. Served up in the style of classical poems, this collection of verse channels all the old poets like Frost, Whitman, and Hopkins, and does so with a reverence and respect for the tradition of poetry that we see today being widely appreciated as contemporary voices of poets all over. Brian mixes and mingles with the best of them, and his collection of verse certainly aspires to remind us about where poetry came from and remind us about where it can go, which is to say an expedition that helps us all recall and recant memories and experiences that are as timeless as poetry itself. Reviews for WINTER WALK: A COLLECTION OF POEMS- "Brian Wood is the kind of poet who reminds me of my favorites (Larkin, Frost, Auden). His poems have a meter, and form, and a classicism that is missing from most modern poetry. His words have a refreshing resonance that reaches far beyond what you see on the page. I enjoy them a great deal." --Thomas Trofimuk, author of Waiting For Columbus "Any man who loves dogs and words, especially together, is someone I like. Any one who uses those words as Brian Wood does in this collection of his poems, I admire. There are questions here, some with answers, all provoking. There are moments here we have all felt, both of helplessness and of surprising inner strength. Take a walk with his dogs and his words -- you'll find it refreshing."-- Roy MacGregor, author of Northern Light
