Críticas
"Poems of dazzling purity...the work of a mind dwelling on great geographical and historical heights" (Stephen Spender)
"No doubt about it, Robert Bringhurst is the real right thing at last, a major talent rising as sheer and sudden in its continental place as the Rockies approached from the plains, moving West...This is extraordinary work; it may be poetry of genius - a word which cannot be used too carefully. Here something old and precious, almost lost, awakens into new life, our life" (William Arrowsmith)
"The peculiar, very difficult genius of Bringhurst is in the news he brings back from his forays into unknown country.... To read Bringhurst is to discover an unknown spring or deep creek way back in the forest" (Jim Harrison)
"He is without doubt a major poet, not only in the context of Canadian letters, but in that of all writing of our time" (Robin Skelton)
Reseña del editor
For the past four decades, Robert Bringhurst has been writing some of the most powerful poetry in English. Distinguished by engaged and passionate curiosity, a wide-ranging intelligence and true originality, his poetry has sometimes been mistaken as austere and opaque. In fact, his work engages in ideas about the human condition, myth, the natural world, language and philosophy, and is unusual for having both a pared simplicity and profound wisdom.
His watchword is clarity, and the elements he considers crucial to effective typography could just as easily be looked for - and found - in his poetry: 'invite the reader into the text; reveal the tenor and meaning of the text; clarify the structure and the order of the text; link the text with other existing elements; induce a state of energetic repose, which is the ideal condition for reading.'
There is such relish for the tactile, physical nature of words, for spare, elemental imagery and for rhetorical weight - in the voice, and the sound of the voice - that each poem has a sense of gem-like purity. While Bringhurst's work may not be the most fashionable poetry being written today, it is certainly amongst the most compelling in its truth, power and beauty.
