"These poems have their taproots mainly in the rocky watersheds of Alberta and embrace an outlook and a way of life that draws its strength from a deep and authentic rapport with nature.
"Praised by Al Purdy as 'one of the best young poets in Canada,' Sid Marty first received widespread attention upon publication of poems in Purdy's Storm Warning , an anthology of younger poets.
"Other poems seem to invent the land with words, but Marty's images convey the authority of having watched and listened to the Country."Â Toronto Star
