Zusammenfassung:	"This book first appeared in 1986 in what was essentially a privately published monograph that was printed for the author by the publishers of the literary periodical The Antigonish Review. It was privately circulated and hard to find. Gaspereau Press's 2023 edition is completely revised and extended and adds new essays and an index. It's a completly different book built out of the original monograph. Sea Run is a fully revised and expanded edition of Peter Sanger’s scarce, privately circulated monograph on the sources and possible meanings of John Thompson’s influential poetry collection Stilt Jack (1978). Working with manuscripts, typescripts, documents and other personal papers that were unavailable at the time of Sea Run’s first appearance in the 1980s, Sanger has produced "a species of notebook compiled at a pedestrian’s pace, with allowance for detour and obstacles." Sea Run offers readers a window both into the texts and cultural contexts underpinning Thompson’s richly allusive poems, and also into a mode of reading and thinking about poetry that recognizes and engages the "cultural keepings" in which literature is rooted."
