<p>Eric Trethewey's poetry embodies both his hard Nova Scotia boyhood and his professional understanding of his craft. His voice is controlled - even laconic - yet his vision is profound, and his mastery gives classic verse forms new resonance. The Long Road Home explores the contradition between the hope for epiphanic closure and the knowledge that nothing is left behind, ended or perfectly accomplished. But, in true Maritime spirit, this hidden grief often bursts out in ironic comedy.</p>
