Hired Hands - Softcover
The 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.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Binette, Michel (illustrator). First Edition. 91 pages. Runner-up for the People's Poetry Award in 1987. The hired hand of these poems and the prose narrative threaded through them, was a stupid man. Today he would be categorized among the barely employable mentally challenged. He was lucky enough to find work and a home with the family of John B. Lee, people who understood and accepted him. And John Lee was lucky to have his whole live coloured by the presence of this apparently limited man who turns out to have been a poem. John Lee has with great tact and without a shred of patronizing found the words to make this inarticulate man live in the portrait that is this book. Author lives in Brantford, Ontario.
