In a matter of just a few years, Rob McLennan has produced seven collections of poetry. One of the most productive poets of his generation, he is able to reference a range of subjects in a small space, underwriting language in such a way that the reader becomes the lightning rod between the connections. McLennan is constantly in motion, quickly moving from point to point, whether in his writing, his publishing, or his travels.
Reviewer Antje M. Rauwerda wrote in Paperplates magazine, this is ..".the inner landscape of a Canadian poet interested in how words mean." In this new book, McLennan's focus is the Maritimes, specifically Prince Edward Island. The title "red earth" refers to the rust-colored soil that dominates the province.
