Farhang

“Farhang: Book II, Patrick Woodcock’s eleventh book of poetry, is a striking and immersive collection that moves with rare confidence between geographies, inner weather, and moral tension. Built on a disciplined structure yet alive with restless motion, the poems carry the reader across ice, sea, and memory, where landscape is never passive. It presses back, shapes thought, and demands a response.” — The Galway Review
“Patrick Woodcock has written a book of remarkable scope, intelligence, and emotional depth. Farhang Book Two confirms him as one of the most distinctive poetic voices currently working in Canadian literature.” — Compulsive Reader
“Farhang Book II is not a book you will read all at once, nor should you try. These poems ask to be sat with. They reward return. You will find yourself coming back to a particular image, a turn of phrase, a closing line, weeks after first reading it. The book stands as one of the most serious and accomplished collections of Canadian poetry in recent years. It arrives from a writer at the height of his powers, rooted in the Arctic landscape where it was written and reaching outward to the full, difficult scope of a life spent paying attention to the world.” — The Woodlot
