Poetry and Garry Thomas Morse, Together Again

Author Garry Thomas Morse, having launched last fall the second book in a series of three books that comprise five “nodal” novels, now revisits poetry as a recurring commentator on Jacket2. His commentary, appearing March through May, highlights 36 poetry books published in Canada. The first installment shines the spotlight on The Book of Marvels by Lorna Crozier (Greystone Books, 2012).

Morse also exchanges his novelist cap, and sets aside his critic cap, to don again his poet cap: four new poems by Morse appear in the latest online issue of The Puritan – and are accompanied by audio versions! Read and/or listen to them here.

A review by Phoebe Wang was also recently published in The Puritan: “‘Three Passages West’: A Review of Brian Brett’s The Wind River Variations, Garry Thomas Morse’s Discovery Passages, and Evelyn Lau’s A Grain of Rice.
