tags: At the Quinte Hotel, Al Purdy, poetry, National Poetry Month
April is National Poetry Month, and I plan to post one poem per day, every day, this month (If you have a favorite poem that you'd like me to share, feel free to email it to me). Today's poem, one that I've never read before now, was suggested by a reader, who said it is his favorite. Also includes streaming video of the poem being performed/read by Gord Downie of The Tragically Hip [5:18].

wow, i hadn't seen this in a looong time, and forgot how much I love it. Yay, Poetry Month!
Some literature is perfection, and this is, to me, an example. Thanks for taking the suggestion.
