There is so much about his best friend, Max, that is a mystery to Jeff. His fascination with guns. His hatred of Jews. His strange response when someone poisons the neighborhood dogs. He at times seems like a man to Jeff, and at other times is just a little boy. What is it about Max that makes Jeff want to be like him? And more important, what would Max think of him if he ever found out about Jeff's family? Based on a real event in his boyhood, Gerald Hausman's The Red Canoe tells the haunting story of boys trying to be men, only to discover the dangers of growing up too fast.

Autorenporträt
Richard Wilbur on Runners: "Runners is full of such engaging poems as 'Porches,' 'Wood for Winter,' and 'Witnesses.' In other places such as 'The Fallen' or 'Goat Castle, Natchez,' there is some deftly conveyed frisson. And then there are admirable poems ('Ravens,' 'Heron and Trout,' 'Ending Up in Horse Creek Canyon') which are informed by a large and deep sense of participation in the whole of life. Gerald Hausman has put together a strong, subtle and varied collection."
