Wind and Root

by Brent MacLaine

The poems in Wind and Root emerge from two powerful and sometimes contradictory forces in the poet's one, the rural traditions, landscapes and seascapes of his native province, and the other, a profound desire to move and see beyond those boundaries. Brent MacLaine's work displays a range of poetical responses—lyrical, tragic, dramatic, realistic, ironic, humorous—from an imagination that swings between the experiences of there and away—of wind—and the experiences of here and home—of root.
