So Recently Ancient: New Poems by John Wing Jr. EPUB

In this new collection John Wing Jr. explores the many faces of irony, self-criticism, and the ambiguity of being a Canadian expat living in the U.S. Humour is at the heart of Wing's concerns but as a professional comedian he knows the hurt that lurks behind much of the laughter. Wing is fearless, always willing to expose his real self both on stage and in this stellar new collection of poems.

“Highly recommended”
- Canadian Materials Magazine

“Wing paints a provocative portrait of comic life...”
- Globe & Mail

“Wing's poetry brims with the fullness of everyday life... it is filled with ironies and complexities...beneath his words is radiance and wisdom...”
- The Windsor Star

“There are poems in this collection that are as deeply moving...as anything new you'll read this year.”
- Don Coles, Governor General's Award Winner
