High Marsh Road - Douglas Lochhead - Bog

Short-listed for the 1980 Governor General's Award for poetry, High Marsh Road is a cycle of poems that reflects the moods of the great Tantramar marsh. Continuing a century-long artistic tradition begun by Charles G.D. Roberts, Douglas Lochhead has written a sequence of 122 poems marking his daily walks across this windblown terrain. Combining acute observations with personal reflections about the world beyond, High Marsh Road is an intimate account of one man's exploration of nature and the self.
