Selected Poems

The author of eight books of poetry, a novel, translations of classical writing, and travel sketches, Daryl Hine brings together in this selection the finest poems of a distinguished literary career. Though he left Canada in 1962, and has since lived in France and the United States, his impressive publications have always been highly regarded by the Canadian poetry community, and he has maintained close ties with his native country. Hine writes with wit, learning, and grace. In the worlds of John Hollander, 'There are very few poets as good as Daryl Hine, and almost none like him'.
