SOPG OT TEE TFDZTTOH fican Chapin! Tone of the Undertow by Wilson 3hcDcnald'is a book of poems iaxvhich the main one is the title poem. 'This is the story of a poet's wanderings about the year l900. At those times money was hard to earn. Wilson lhcDonald left his job of scrubbing bar-room floors for a trip of hardships mingled with joy. after being signed to the crew of a horse-boat, he travelled from Tontreal to St. John by freight train, haviry very little to eat. Three days later they were sailingi This horse-boat was horribleg one cannot realize how bad it was. Ihny of the men were sickg food was very poor, 'living Quarters were worse than for the horses'. -We would waken when some rat along our limbs would crawl.N HOld vomit, hard with time, was caked upon the walls and floor.W These not very pleasant quotations show under what conditions the men stayedgz The endurance of this was made a little less horrible by the friendship of Bill McCord. After arriving in England the author relates his wanderings through the country, this being the more pleasant part of the poem. Here is the description of one little town--- A 'T have not found a shyer place Than this cathedral town, She sometimes dares the hills aroundg And then comes quickly down. ind you must euess har lively form Through her ancestral sown.H Predominatine throughout is the hardship of a poet to get work and money. The other poems in the book are descriptive, such as HWoe Born 3eauty.' This is a lovely poem telling of the beauty of nature. 'Silver birches flamed across this wood.W In his writing Wilson Macdonald shows his belief in God. He has a faith which, though wonderful, sometimes falters. He is not a man of quick temper. He is one who loves the country and country towns over the rush and business of a large city. I think anyone intere:tcd in poetry would like this book. Although the first poem is a little gruesome, it shows the hardships a poet must endure. One cannot believe men would be forced to live under such conditions. It makes us thank- ful for what we have to-day.
