Octopus - Softcover
As apt to channel the confessionalism of Anne Sexton as the red-in-tooth-and-claw nature poetry of Ted Hughes, Patrick Warner's voice ranges freely from the colloquial to the baroque. By harboring and honoring such fraught tensions, Warner has built a taut and original body of work. In Octopus we have him at his best.

Review:
PRAISE FOR OCTOPUS
"Warner has a wonderful skill for wielding rhythm and rhyme...engaging and memorable." ―Canadian Literature
PRAISE FOR PATRICK WARNER
“Warner’s poems can be comical, tender, brutal ... they are always enlightening in their implied connections, sublime in their musical inventiveness.”―Sunday Independent
“I don’t know if anyone in contemporary poetry is bearing more eloquent, precisely strange witness to the certainty of their doubts than Warner.”―ARC Poetry Magazine
