A Romantic through and through, Luxton trains a steady eye on Nature, his chief solace from the 'Gagworld' of personal and political relations. Though he questions his allegiance to the chaste meditations of Wordsworth, and wonders whether Berryman's manic wordplay is an equally outdated legacy, these two poets remain the presiding spirits of the book, and define the poles of its dialectic.

An avid fisherman, canoeist, and hiker, Luxton explores and records in memorable detail the region around his home in Quebec. This collection brings together for the first time 35 years of his best nature poems, including new and previously unpublished work. Influenced by fellow Eastern Townshippers, F. R. Scott, Louis Dudek, Ralph Gustafson, and D.G. Jones, Luxton has developed a mature and authoritative voice uniquely his own. Rich in language and metaphor, these poems dazzle at times with their depth and dissolve the barrier between Man and Nature. With a true and finely honed poetic gift, unsentimentally post-pastoral, Luxton vividly portrays the natural world’s green particulars–what the Zen Buddhists term ‘The Ten Thousand Things’.
