""It is good to hear John Newlove's voice again through these letters, back from those days when letters (well before the advent of emails, text messages) were a stronger means of communication between writers, between poets. As Weingarten offers in his detailed introduction, this is where battles were fought, shots were lobbied, generosities offered and questions answered, all of which Newlove composed in thoughtful detail. Every gesture was for the sake of the work. Weingarten puts the spotlight on an important Canadian poet and the context in which he existed, across a wide-ranging literature."" - Rob McLennan, author of the book of sentences ""John Newlove was a troubled man and a fine poet. His letters recount long nights and bleak days, but above all they return readers to his astringent, astonishing poems. The Weather and the Words is a significant contribution to the story of modern poetry in Canada. What a gift to have the correspondence so thoughtfully edited by J. A. Weingarten, and what a pleasure to meet Newlove all over again."" - Nicholas Bradley, Department of English, University of Victoria
