Welcome to Litsy!

Another translator of that Horace collection I recently read. Hine was a Canadian poet and kept his homosexuality in the closet for most of his life. coming out in the late 1980's. As a poet, he was the epitome of form. He‘s always clean and striking linguistically. It wasn't always emotionally understandable to me, but when I got in tune, it was really interesting to see how he did things. A quick, entertaining later collection of his.

Trying a second of my new poetry books. Hine was a late 20th century poet of form. He wrote a long poem of being gay in the 1970‘s, and didn‘t publish it for two decades. This is a 1991 collection, apparently an important later collection of his.
