Episode: Episode 44: Al Purdy - An Homage and Reading of Two Poems.
Description: In which I talk about Al Purdy (1918-2000), his place in Canlit and my personal encounters with him in the 90s, and the creation of the infamous Purdy podium by my father, Gerald. I also read some teensy lyrics I like of his: Winter at Roblin Lake from Cariboo Horses and Depression in Namu, BC from Sex and Death. Big Al: never to be forgotten.
