Review Quotes
Enough to say that Lifelines offers its readers the complex satisfaction of riches (human, natural, personal, or impersonal) rendered with refined lyrical tact into cherished possessions. As with the Romantic poets themselves, Magowan has a bracing capacity for imaginative identification: one minute rejoicing in the mysterious spectacle of cranes dancing, at another it's the touching sight of grebes 'gathering the glisten where the moon is salt.' In a word, then, there are so many treats here that all a grateful reader can do is thank the poet who says, "come in, enjoy the feast."--Eamon Grennan, author of Plainchant
