8vo., [x], 71pp, [i], blue card wrappers with white dust jacket. Title in blue letters, with author in black letters. Alden Nowlan (1933-1983) was a Canadian writer of drama and poetry. Born in Nova Scotia, he lived ultimately in New Brunswick. Having been born in poverty, much of his early poetry was inspired by his experiences as well as those of the people he saw around him in New Brunswick. The Things Which Are, published in 1962, marked a shift in the focus of his poetry. The focus is less on poverty and rural life, and moves to ruminations on history and human relationships with the natural world. As described on the dust jacket flap, "In this new volume he shows that he has been able to advance to a new tightness, a new directness, both in the material and in the verse line. In addition, the personal involvement is even more closely felt than before, the dramatic note intensified. We are reading here a poet who is moving into maturity." Nowlan would go on to win the Governor General's Award for English Poetry in 1967. This copy shares another interesting connection with Canadian poetry, appearing to have belonged to Harry Howith (1934-2014), another Canadian poet. His name is written on the title page. This copy is in good condition with a dust jacket in good condition. There is some staining to the covers and the dust jacket, from age, and most notably around the spine. A section from the front fly leaf has been cut out, and there is some slight loss and chipping to the top of the dust jacket. Otherwise the book is in excellent condition, with no blemish to the text.…
