Doug’s most recent book is RIVER POEMS, published by Borealis Press in 2007.
It is his third volume of poetry and his 11th book over all.
In the Introduction to River
Poems David Adams Richards writes: “Over the years his vision of the world, and what the world
of the Maritimes, and in particular his great New Brunswick, has never wavered. We are the luckier for
it. His one faultless gift, to know what the land means to us as a people, what the rivers—especially
his beloved Miramichi river means to the life blood of industry and spirit, what the forests and ponds
and ridges mean to our soul. What the animals we hunt and fish mean to our greater purpose, and to the
purpose of family and friends.” read more
Underhill has written three children’s books, a humourous Miramichi Dictionary, a sports book, three volumes of poetry, a collection of humourous fishing stories, and two which deal with folklore and history. Click on the above tabs for more details and purchasing information. Presently,
