Recenzii
Philip Kevin Paul's connection with the Saanich Peninsula -- the land of his family, and his lifelong home -- is clear just from reading the contents listing of "Little Hunger", his second collection of poetry, which features poems like 'Descent into Saanich' and 'Brentwood Bay.' And, indeed, the poems themselves make that connection even more clear, delving into Paul's experience of the land and the people of the area, and the experience of the Wsanec people.-- Peninsula News Review
In "Little Hunger," his second collection, Philip Kevin Paul continues the project of his first book, "Taking the Names Down from the Hill" (2003) -- although here he writes in an even more focused manner. This project is to assert and evoke the connectedness of land, culture, and family in Central Saanich, British Columbia, north of Victoria, the traditional territory of the WSA, NEC Nation. The result is an intensely local set of poems that assume the place to be central to the author's personal and cultural identity. ... In "Descent into Saanich," he writes of approaching the local airport. In flight he cannot hear the sound of the water "as it slides against / the east end of our smallest islands," a sound he "know[s] by heart" and that "lays claim to [him], a child of Saanich." Paul's poetry is likewise claimed by place. At times his world seems private, scarcely comprehensible to outsiders; the poems, like [Gregory] Scofield's, also depict familiar sorrows.--Nicholas Bradley, "Canadian Literature"
