About This Item

An association copy and one of the last books to be published in Purdy's lifetime, signed on the pre-title page in black ink by Purdy to David Herreshoff, the Poet Laureate of Kaslo, BC "For Jessie & David & vise versa / with cordial good wishes / Al Purdy". Printed glossy wraps, 8vo (9 inches tall), pp. [1]-131, [132 - blank]. Front cover with an image of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. From the back cover "A hundred years from now, one of the few Canadian poets whose work will still be read is Al Purdy." . .. "to Paris Never Again is Purdy's first collection of new writing 's since 1994: fifty-one poems plus "Home Country," an essay of nostalgic anecdotes that provides a facinating background to much of the poetry. Here is the work of a major poet in the maturity of a long, eventful life; a voice steeped in the wisdom of age, yet responsive to the subtlest shadings of experience." Ref. see p.76 "On Retirements", Gilmore, Jon Barnard.
