Riassunto

A yellow plate and plastic fork,In trash-bag tossed, / Tell nothing of the past nor her / Brief life, now lost. / Instead a few sweet crumbs upon / The plate remain, / Remnants of what no longer is. / We share the pain.---from "Crumbs on a Yellow Plate"

In Footnotes, Hamilton area author and poet David J. Forsyth presents a lifetime's worth of poems, many of them dealing with the theme of human mortality. Forsyth has appended a brief footnote to each poem, recalling the circumstances of its creation and the challenges that he faced in writing it. The result is a collection that both readers of poetry and practising poets themselves will cherish.

"A satisfying and inspiring gift to readers.... Death is the topic of many poems, notably the deaths of the poet’s father and grandfathers. But these are not poems of lamentation, they are primarily poems of meditation, intense meditation. They are poems to read, poems to remember and re-read, poems that will connect with your own life and thought, poems to reconsider. They are deceptively simple, and always accessible. They matter." --Alan Bishop, D.Phil.
