Product Description
by Erin Wilson (Author)
"Compelling, urgent, lean, Erin Wilson's poems read as though Emily Dickinson's secret love child ran off to Canada and mated with a wolf." - Roger Mitchell, The Hamilton Stone
Raw, tender, always unsparing, Wilson gives us a woman growing even as her children grow, revealing to her more of the world, dissipating the violence of the self. Total easement is not granted-just, perhaps, a gentler reckoning with existence.
"This is one of the most powerful gathering of poems I've read in years.... Our study is to understand that a new voice has strode across the field, and made its place." - Brian Brett, author of To Your Scattered Bodies Go (2011 CBC poetry prize) and Uproar's Your Only Music (Globe & Mail Book of the Year)
