Porcupine's Quill. Very Good+; Paperback; Modest typical exterior/edge rub.. 1987. First Printing. Nice clean copy. Professional service since1999.; Trade PB; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 78 pp; <p>`In this extraordinary cycle of poems, we hear and are spell-bound by the voice of Marilyn Monroe. Her vulnerability and toughness, her narcissism and immaturity, and above all the mystery of Monroe's innocence are perfectly conveyed. Bowering sees both that her character's suffering is genuine and that it is self-indulgent. She gives us the luminescence of Monroe, embodies her in the rhythm of voice and in the visual images of self and world through which Monroe lived. She gives us Monroe's darkness, and also her faith in perfect love, her belief that there is no sin, no death, that nothing bad can happen.' - <i>Constance Rooke</i> . more information

Nightwood Editions. Very Good+; Trade Paperback; Mild creases to cover and some typical shelf . rub.. 1995. First Printing. Solid unread copy. Inscribed by Bowling. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 179 pp; In his fourth collection of poetry, Tim Bowling continues his exploration of loss, heartache, joy and wonder. Employing a supple lyricism that is at turns tender and fierce, he draws on his experiences as a father and son, on his memories of childhood, and on his journeys into landscape as ways to explore the deep mysteries at the heart of consciousness. <br><br><I>Darkness and Silence</I> moves from the lush riverscape of BC's south coast to the eerie moonscape of the Alberta badlands, from elegiac considerations of the lives of other writers (such as Al Purdy in "Elegy for an Elegist" and Willa Cather in "I Went into the Gardens of the Empress Hotel") , to the imagistic meditations on the simple acts of washing dishes, going for a walk, or returning home after a day's work. <br><br>These highly crafted poems, rich with startling metaphors and vivid images, underline Robert Frost's idea that poetry is, above all else, a performance. Bowling believes wholeheartedly in emotion and drama, and he puts his deep love and respect for the sounds and rhythms of English into every line he writes. <br><br>Intellectual without being academic, and philosophical without being abstract, he is a poet fully engaged with the challenges, beauties and hard truths of day-to-day living.; Signed by Author . more information
