Tom Thomson in Purgatory
A debut collection by a Canadian-born poet in California, whose title poem sends the Ontario painter Tom Thomson, drowned in 1917, to purgatory. The other poems are comic, bookish and dry, with borrowed lives serving as masks. A first book of lyrics rather than a continuous story.
