One Leaf Shaking is the first collection of Robin Skelton's
later poetry written and compiled during the 1980s when he was both
at the apex of his career and revered for his standing in academic
circles. Poems included in this volume are taken from four titles
previously published by Sono Nis, Oolichan and Porcupine's
QuillLandmarks, Limits, Distances and Openingand attests to his
incredible range and prolific talent. The work also includes verse
that comprised two chapbooks, Words for Witches and De Nihilio, and
seventeen previously unpublished poems.
Renowned for his mentorship and entrepreneurial energies in
every creative arena, Skelton applies his generous intellect and
quiet insight to the world he both recalls and reclaims, a world
fashioned by the hands of a master craftsman and linked
thematically to reflect the poet's shifting attentions yet constant
interest. In order to fully appreciate one of Canada's unofficial
poet laureates, add this volume to your library of cherished
classics. With an introduction by Harold Rhenisch.
