Arguments with the lake : poetry / Tanis Rideout. by Rideout, Tanis. Wolsak and Wynn, 2013. Call #: 819.16 R544a Subjects Bell, Marilyn, 1937- -- Poetry.   Campbell, Shirley, swimmer -- Poetry.   Long distance swimming -- Poetry.   Fame -- Psychological aspects -- Poetry.   Canadian poetry -- Women authors   Canadian poetry -- 21st century   Ontario, Lake (N.Y. and Ont.) -- Poetry. ISBN:  9781894987714 (pbk.) 1894987713 (pbk.) Description:  96 p. ; 22 cm. Notes:  Poems. Summary:  "In 1954, at the age of sixteen, Marilyn Bell became the first person to swim across Lake Ontario. It brought her fame and adulation; her life seemed charmed. Enter Shirley Campbell, another young swimmer whose accomplishments were poised to rival Bell's, but in falling short in her own attempts to cross the Great Lake, she found herself spiraling out of control into a life of addiction, petty crime, and personal tragedies. Tanis Rideout weaves the tales of these two remarkable women together in a series of stunning, lyrical poems. It is a story of courage and triumph, but also one of adversity and redemption. This is an exhilarating book of poetry, at once tender and terrifying; like a cold dip in Lake Ontario, it will engulf you and leave you breathless"--Provided by publisher Genre:  Canadian poetry.
