Ian Sowton believes that poetry is good for you, that a poem a day keeps indifference away. As a famous line in Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman puts it, "attention must be paid" and poetry is one of the most finely honed human instruments for paying attention. Affordable Wonders pays attention to places both exotic and ordinary; to characters like Mercy Jones you might just happen to meet; to politics, paintings, and the city of Toronto; to birds-from juncos to pelicans; to verses from the Christian scriptures; to the memory of friends who have died; to the cultivation of imagination, and to language itself. The author hopes that Affordable Wonders will pleasingly exercise your imagination and your powers of noticing. Along with its variety of verse forms, this collection of poems offers a range of moods and voices from celebratory to elegiac, from satirical to devotional, and from whimsical to exasperation. Enter the text and explore, there are multiple points of view; its only agenda is to entertain bracingly.
