Description

This collection brings together two significant works by Jay MacPherson, a distinguished Canadian poet. The Boatman, first published in 1957, is an intricate sequence of short epigrammatic poems that explore the cosmos of the poet's invention, drawing on Biblical and classical allusions.

Welcoming Disaster, privately published in 1974, offers a lesser-known work by MacPherson that will now reach a wider audience. Reviewers have praised her 'grandness' and 'verve', likening her to notable poets such as Graves, Wordsworth, Auden, Dickinson, and Stevie Smith.

These two collections showcase the poet's mastery of language and form, exploring themes of innocence and its consequences through a unique blend of allusions and poetic invention.
