Neuware - Canadian poet David Zieroth's creative journey, still unfolding after more than fifty years, comes into brilliant focus in this revelatory retrospective.Gathered with meticulous care and arranged chronologically, this vital collection reflects the unique voice and ever-evolving style of BC poet David Zieroth over more than half a century of acclaimed work. From early meditations on his rural Prairie childhood to the moving consideration of family and history in the previously unpublished poem at the book's end, Zieroth allows imagery rooted in daily life to guide him in unexpected directions, revealing moments that illuminate the otherwise hidden confluence of mind and world.As first here and then far shows, Zieroth's curiosity-charged poems have always possessed a translucent directness. Motion and stillness meet, whether the view is from one of his many international voyages or simply from his North Vancouver balcony, as in the evocatively titled recent book watching for life.
