Subtitle from cover.

"The best of Mark Abley's poems from the 1980s to the present, often in revised form. The finest pieces from his three previous books and about 20 new poems. Known as a writer of place, Abley extends his range over time and history. These poems are distinguished by their combination of clarity and grace, high intelligence and deep feeling. Poems such as "Mother and Son", "Labrador" and "Glasburyon" are the work of a literary artist with few peers in Canada. To those who have known Abley only as a prose writer, this book will come as a revelation. Mark Abley is the author of three poetry collections and four non-fiction books, including The Prodigal Tongue: Despatches from the Future of English. He lives in Montreal"--Provided by publisher.
