Michael Ondaatje's poems have been celebrated by readers and
writers alike for containing some of the most memorable and
moving verse written in the past half-century. The Story
combines Ondaatje's sensual writing with watercolor
illustrations by celebrated painter David Bolduc, making a
unique item. Left-hand pages contain Bolduc's art while
right-hand pages contain Ondaatje's poem — both typeset and
in the author's own handwriting. This elegant housing is a
fitting accompaniment to Ondaatje's elegaic poem, which
follows his larger themes — love, memory, family, exile —
even as it unfolds into "our dismantled childhoods," and
offers readers the opportunity to extend its narrative into
their own lives.
