To Paris Never Again

by Al Purdy

Book Overview

Here is Al Purdy's final volume of original poems, containing some of the best work of his half-century of writing. This is the work of a major poet in the maturity of a long, eventful life, a voice steeped in the wisdom of age, yet responsive to the subtlest shadings of experience. To Paris Never Again includes fifty-one poems plus "Home Country," an essay of nostalgic anecdotes that provides a fascinating background to much of the poetry.

Great Poetry Collection

This books contains some of Purdy’s best poems reflecting on his life and approaching death. The sense of loss that comes as one ages is palatable here, especially in the poem, “Departures.” For anyone interested in these ideas or Al Purdy’s poetry, this book is a must read.
