Winter's Skin

by Tom Wayman

tagged: canadian
Description

Amid the heavy snow and cold one winter in southeastern B.C.'s mountains where Tom Wayman lives, he happened to reread the Chilean poet Pablo Neruda's posthumous volume Winter Garden in translation. Wayman decided to write a series of poems in response to a phrase, image, or entire poem of the Nobel laureate's. Wayman's series ranges across memory and the present, coastal and inland settings, and metaphorical as well as literal winters.
