They say poetry is the food of love, and if that is the case, boy do we have a feast for you!

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, we’re proud to announce that the latest volume in our Essential Poets series—The Essential Jay Macpherson—is now in print.

Full of rich, mythical allusion, lyrical verses and a hint of irony, this charming collection offers a brilliant overview of the work of one of the leading members of Canada’s mid-century poetry community.

This one is perfect for your poetry- and literature-loving Valentine.
