Oldman's River: New and Collected Poems
Autor Sid Martyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 mai 2023
INTRODUCTION
Owen Percy and Kit Dobson
The goal of this volume is twofold: first, to introduce new readers to the poetry of Sid Marty and, second, to collect disparate, out-of-print, or unavailable poems into a single, accessible volume. If this book succeeds in these labours, then it can be counted a success. If it can go beyond those two points, too, and demonstrate that so-called regional writing - in this case "prairie writing" and "mountain writing" - as practiced by Sid Marty at least, is much more than facile stereotypes about place or landscape - if this book can make the case (which needs to be made on an ongoing basis) in favour of a politically nuanced, thoughtful, and deeply poetic practice of environmental and social stewardship - then it will have matched the hopes of the authors of this introduction.

Praise for Sid Marty
"A much wider range of communicable emotion is that of Sid Marty, who may well be our finest lyric poet."
-M. Travis Lane in "Contemporary Canadian Verse The View From Here", University of Toronto Quarterly
"Among these mountain men poets, it is Sid Marty, so far - I gather - volumeless, whom I find the most varied and rewarding." -George Woodcock, "Swarming of Poets", Canadian Literature: A Quarterly of Criticism and Review
"Sharp and clean as a glacier ridge"
-William French , Globe and Mail
".intense, beautiful, honest and moving"
-Marty Gervais, Windsor Star
"Marty's images are plain as the worn haft of a favorite knife but they are attached to a glittering metaphysical blade.
-Stephen Hume, Edmonton Journal
