About this book
Canadian landscapes become voices of national belonging in W. D. Lighthall's poetry. The opening dialogue between a young man and a seer imagines mountains, forests and coastlines awakening into a shared homeland. A national hymn links public hopes with useful work, family life and religious faith. Elsewhere, views of Venice, Florence and Rome lead the speaker back to thoughts of Canadian maples and hills.
The collection also turns inward, exploring lost love, grief and the effort to reconcile affection with duty. Cloud and wind converse in verse, while poems addressed to a fellow student of Kant and to the soul connect spiritual aspiration with philosophical reflection.
