Murmur of the Stars [262]
Peter Dale Scott
[Poetry]
Peter Dale Scott's Murmur of the Stars is a work of extraordinary insight and charm, threaded through with the world vision of the diplomat and political activist--and with the more intimate, equally intense recognition of the humanist. Poet, professor, scholar, translator, traveller--Scott's rich and varied life experience is wondrously reflected in this collection of his poetry.
Peter Dale Scott's Coming to Jakarta: A Poem About Terror was a Governor-General's Award finalist and Listening to the Candle: A Poem on Impulse was listed by Publisher's Weekly in their Best Books of 1992.
"[Coming to Jakarta is] a work of great richness and complexity."
- Thom Gunn, Times Literary Supplement
"The wisdom that Scott achieves in [Listening to the Candle], and that he embodies in its flexible inclusive structure, is that we must search for a way between what he calls the 'brutality' of civilization and the mindless anarchy that he says will soon lead to brutality."
- Daniel Morris, Harvard Review
