A selection of poems by the man described by the Globe & Mail as 'the greatest of our poets.' Rooms for Rent in the Outer Planets includes three decades' worth of thoughtprovoking work, including poems from the GovernorGeneral's Awardwinning The Cariboo Horses to Naked with Summer in Your Mouth.Purdy personally made this selection, assisted by Sam Solecki, the editor of Starting from Ameliasburgh: The Collected Prose of Al Purdy. In these poems, Purdy ponders the remains of a Native village; encounters Fidel Castro in Revolutionary Square; curses a noisy cellmate in the drunk tank; and marvels at the 'combination of ballet and murder' known as hockey, all in the author's inimitable manonthestreet style.Rooms for Rent in the Outer Planets is destined to become the standard Purdy poetry volume for many years to come.
