Today I was reminded of a poem I read when I was a child. Someone told me a poem I have just written reminds me of it: “David” by Earle Birney. I just read it for the first time in over thirty years. I’m in love with the language and the building tension. The comparison was high praise. https://wcln.ca/_LOR/course_files/en09/unit1/david.pdf #poetry #poem #CanadianLiterature #CanLit #EarleBirney #David
