The poems in Zachariah Wells's second collection range from childhood to dimly foreseen events in the future; they idle on all three of Canada's coasts, travel the open road, take walks in the city and pause on the banks of country streams and ponds.
Playful, allusive, persona-shifting poems from a Biblioasis poetry editor, whose work has been sung at the Opera National in Paris.
Exploring the passionate reactions to Canadian poetry, this book delves into the complexities and nuances of the genre. It captures the frustrations and fervor of those who engage deeply with the poetic landscape, shedding light on the cultural and artistic significance of Canadian voices. Through a blend of critique and personal reflection, it invites readers to reconsider their perspectives on poetry and its impact within the broader literary context.
