Product Description

Review

Outram is never at any time anyone less than a poet armed and a poet prepared to prophesy. -- Peter Sanger, The New Quarterly

That the author is intoxicated by the `universe of words,' that he sees this universe as endlessly fascinating and `inexhaustibly ramified,' and that he believes that his task is to delineate the dazzling complexity of this universe with as much clarity as possible is evident in every entry in this attractive volume. -- Canadian Book Review Annual

With Man in Love, we find Outram writing at his most mature, uncovering hidden resources in language. -- Letters in Canada

`Like Keats, Outram finds that the contemplation of death leads to love and life.' -- University of Toronto Quarterly

Book Description

Man in Love stems from the certainty that man is in love. Love at once utterly simple, inexhaustibly ramified, and personal. That we are possessed of a capacity, possibly mortal, to blind ourselves and others to this burden and context is evident enough. But it may be that with these poems and wood engravings, word and image as text and emblem conjoin in witness, however partial, to this our self-evident truth.
