Poetic Obituaries: "Douglas's work is immensely physical

in its attempt to convey the rhythms of the world, the way the world works, the way it fits together," he [Peter Sanger] said [of Douglas Lochhead].

In 1980, Lochhead was nominated for a Governor-General's Award for High Marsh Road, a series of poems inspired by his daily walks. In 1989, still caught up with the magic of the marsh, he wrote Dykelands, which weaves history in with the allure of nature.


from The Globe and Mail: Douglas Lochhead: Librarian was the poet laureate of Sackville
