Canada's past poet laureate looks back again at a life lived in books and hockey fandom. Hockey sorts the backdrop of our lives. For most Canadians, the top occasions - births, deaths, marriages, goes - are all mixed up with the wins and loss of our groups. The voices of Hockey Nighttime in Canada sportscasters are our soundtrack, and visions of skates scraping over the glaciers lull us to sleep. George Bowering, Canada's past poet laureate, is no different. Growing up in Oliver, BC, Bowering was entranced by the kids from Saskatchewan who skated and treated pucks as easy as respiration. His fascination with hockey implemented him into adult life, from BC to Quebec and again. Bowering implemented his groups with a crucial eyeball and a fan's love, and his testimonies bring us on the cross-country hockey-themed highway trip, with occasional forays into boxing, poetry, and activities fashion. Bowering comes with an encyclopedic knowledge of his subject. He has been an avid and attentive hockey admirer since boyhood, and comes with an comprehensive catalogue of thoughts and opinions on the personalities and occasions that populate Canadian hockey background. In The Hockey Scribbler, Bowering brings us along on his richly comprehensive look back again at hockey in Canada because the 1950s.
