Imagine Stephen Leacock behind the easel of Tom Thomson and you'll approach Peter McEwen's distinctive poetic "geopsyche." According to Al Moritz, Peter McEwen's poetry is "exemplary for its wit and penetration of social psychology." While definitely regional, his region is one we all share, at least at times. Broadly accessible, and often laced with humour and satire, his poetry is intellectually and emotionally challenging.
