Broken Man on a Halifax Pier di Lesley Choyce

2.5 stars. I wasn't crazy about it but husband really liked it.

Caution to the Wind di Lesley Choyce

3.5 stars. Enjoyed some poems more than others, as one does, but generally they were clear and relatable, with some humour and many moments of recognition. (Read online on the author's website.)

Coastline of Forgetting di Lesley Choyce

3.5 stars. These poems reminded me of the poetry of Charles Bruce, dealing as they do with place and time and the Nova Scotia coast. Here is a sample:

The peace of this inner beach
and a pond filled with a ballet of rockweed
is a short reprieve
from the pace of measured life.
I collect this speck of time
like a dark, polished grain of sand
and stash it in my head
to see how long it takes
to leak back out
and leave me anchored again
on a stoney beach
of another tense tomorrow.

Raising Orion di Lesley Choyce

This is a book I enjoyed more on second reading. Both times I sank into Choyce's excellent writing, but this time I appreciated the later parts of the book and the ending more, I think because the first time I was mostly interested in the plot. He writes of deep things in a very approachable and clear way, or as clear as such things can be.
