Alden Nowlan

Clarke, Irwin and Company

Alden Nowlan is widely considered one of the most brilliant poets to appear in Canada in the past 30 years.  In this animated presentation, American poets Robert Bly and Thomas R. Smith aim for the honesty, warmth and wit at the heart of Nowlan's poetry.  This performance reveals Nowlan, in his luminous compassion for men and women, as an heir to Whitman for our times.    Combining insightful commentary with 25 of Nowlan's best poems, this reading was recorded in 1994 at Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota to mark the publication of "What Happened When He Went to the Store for Bread; Poets by Alden Nowlan, published by Nineties Press and edited by Thomas R. Smith, with a foreword by Robert Bly.
