Ecologue

by Ken Belford

tagged: canadian
Description

Ecologue is the culmination of Ken Belford's lifelong quest to reconcile land and language, innovation/development and earth's geographical history, nature and humankind's place within it. He extends this deep contemplation to the relationship between poem and reader, deftly shaping his lines into a pure expression of where "ritual and mystery loiter, beyond supervision and the noise of the narrative."

About the Author

Ken Belford was born to a farming family near Debolt, Alberta, and grew up in East Vancouver. In the late 1960s, he moved to the Hazelton area of Northwest British Columbia, where he homesteaded
with his wife and daughter. Together they operated a soft paths ecotourism business in the remote, roadless Nass River headwaters at Damdochax Lake. Remarried, he now lives in Prince George British Columbia with his partner, Si, and continues to blend the borders of poetics.

Belford has published four previous books of poetry;
Fireweed, The Post Electric Caveman, Pathways Into the Mountains, and ecologue.

Editorial Review

"A thought-provoking, resonant anthology."
--Midwest Book Review

"Ken Belford, geographically peripheral, [is] absolutely central to Canadian poetics."
--Robert Budde, American Book Review
