 [ Large Image ] | Keeping Watch at the End of the World Harry Thurston 2015 / Poetry / $20.95 9781554471447 / Trade paper / 112 pp In Keeping Watch at the End of the World, Harry Thurston explores the ways in which poetry stands sentinel at the edge-places where known and unknown meet. Whether that frontier lies between land and sea, present and past, health and illness, or youth and aging, Thurston holds that the poet’s duty is to survey the horizon and “see things before they take shape,” chronicling occurrences both acute and remote. A poet-naturalist in the tradition of Thoreau, Thurston reminds us of the importance of being fully present in the midst of our own brief lives, of shaping what we see into poetry’s “steeped words—dark, light, and sweetened gifts.” To purchase this title: Add it to your cart | Other Books by this Author |  | Ultramarine Harry Thurston 2023 / Canadian Poetry / $23.95 CAN 9781554472536 / Trade paper / 96 pp |  | Lost River: The Waters of Remembrance, A Memoir Harry Thurston 2020 / Memoir, Naturalists, Fishing / $28.95 CAN 9781554472161 / Trade paper / 208 pp |  | The Deer Yard Harry Thurston, Allan Cooper 2013 / Poetry / $17.95 CAN 9781554471201 / Trade paper / 64 pp |  | Broken Vessel: Thirty-five Days in the Desert Harry Thurston 2007 / Poetry / $15.95 CAN 9781554470341 / Trade paper / 48 pp |  | A Ship Portrait Harry Thurston 2005 / Poetry / $49.95 CAN 9781554470075 / Fine / 96 pp |  | A Ship Portrait Harry Thurston 2005 / Poetry / $18.95 CAN 9781554470068 / Trade paper / 96 pp |  | If Men Lived on Earth Harry Thurston 2000 / Poetry / $39.95 CAN 9781894031233 / Fine / 152 pp |  | If Men Lived on Earth Harry Thurston 2000 / Poetry / $14.95 CAN 9781894031226 / Trade paper / 152 pp |
