Frogs in the rain barrel / Sally Ito. by Ito, Sally, 1964- Nightwood Editions, 1995. Call #: 819.154 I89f Subjects Japanese Canadians -- Poetry.   Canadian poetry -- 20th century.   Canadian poetry -- Women authors.   Canadian poetry -- Japanese Canadian authors. ISBN:  0889711607 Description:  71 p. ; 23 cm. Notes:  Poems. Summary:  "In the title poem of this extraordinary first book, Sally Ito remembers her childhood in Alberta, when she set frogs in the rain barrel and watched them swim like stars in a 'pool of still and nether depths/ whose mirrored surface was all.' Those imagined depths become a powerful metaphor in these poems, which reflect Ito's experiences as a young Japanese Canadian living and writing in Alberta, the Northwest Territories, the West Coast and Japan. Hers is a distinct poetic voice, equally at ease with such diverse images as an aged Chinese man on the train, the Inuit goddess of the sea and the first crocus of spring. Frogs in the Rain Barrel was runner-up for the Milton Acorn People's Poetry Award in 1996."--Amazon.ca Holds:  0   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Item type Status   Central Library Adult Nonfiction 819.154 I89f Adult books Checked in Add Copy to MyList
