Shimmers of Light

Meer over het boek

Utilizing the vernacular of everyday life, the poetry collection captures the essence of small-town prairie existence, reflecting the struggles and resilience of its characters. Currie's work, spanning several decades, reveals the tension between societal expectations and inner turmoil, often illuminated by moments of clarity and connection. Themes of tenderness, loss, and the harsh realities of life are explored through unembellished language, creating a powerful emotional resonance. The collection is enriched by contributions from notable poets Lorna Crozier and Mark Abley.
