Morning Watch

Morning Watch is a book of voyages of various sorts—with John and Elizabeth Simcoe during their troubled stay in the Canadas, to Brecht’s society [in a brilliant translation of some of his works], and to the poet’s own realms of family and the Ontario countryside. What the critics said about Ashbourn: “This establishes him as one of the most interesting poets writing in Canada.” —University of Windsor Review “What is so forceful about these poems is their believability.” —Canadian Literature
