John B. Lee

Hired Hands

Ebook (EPUB Format)

Shortlisted for the 1987 Milton Acorn Memorial People's Poetry PrizeThe hired hand of these poems was a stupid man. Nowadays he would be known as one of the employable retarded. Tom was lucky enough to find work and a home with the family of John B. Lee, people who understood him. And John B. Lee was lucky to have his whole life coloured by the presence of an apparently limited man who turns out to have been a poem. John B. Lee has with great tact and without a shred of patronizing found the words to make this inarticulate man live.Hired Hands is a remarkable accomplishment.
