In John Updike's Room New And Selected Poems

'More than any other Canadian poet I've read in recent years, Christopher Wiseman has written poetry that, as Philip Larkin believed, should ''try to move towards the reader.'' The poems in In John Updike's Room reach the reader using an exciting plain-style -- clear, stylish, colloquial, and capable of the most exquisite, unhurried, delicately-expressed insights. By keeping alive the English language as a force both accessible and bold, approachable and freshly-imagined, Wiseman makes good on a promise only the finest poets are able to satisfy: he has created an individual music that can be genuinely shared.'Wiseman, Christopher is the author of 'In John Updike's Room New And Selected Poems', published 2005 under ISBN 9780889842731 and ISBN 0889842736.
