Underwood Log

By W.H. New

Shortlist - Governor General's award (2005)

Reminiscent of Oscar Peterson's Canadiana Suite or William Carlos Williams's Paterson, this book-length poem is sweeping in its grasp of human and natural geography. Underwood Log is a poem that circles the globe, crossing meridians with amazing insight and understanding, recording discoveries with delight and wonder, and connecting places to which the poet has travelled back to his home and his heart. It is a poem of exploration, as rich as any archaeological dig - a poem of stunning musicality, imagination and intellect. Every word selected with care, with precision and integrity.
