Inspired by nature and religion, Neil Paul and Sheldon H. Clark collaborate in Voices Extended to present this moving and evocative collection of poems. As Alan Bishop of McMaster University writes in his preface, Both poets express their thoughts and emotions succinctly and memorably. Sheldon Clark’s poems are forcefully direct, often focus sharply on religious themes, and frequently use repetition to strengthen emotion. Neil Paul’s poems are characteristically quieter and apparently simple, restrained, as they soberly observe and comment on the natural and familial. Brought together in one volume, these two sets of poems complement each other effectively, deepening meaning and strengthening the pleasure they can give to attentive readers. Evocative photographs and line drawings enhance the volume.
