In this extraordinary collection from one of our most celebrated poets, Don McKay walks the strike-slip fault between poetry and landscape, sticks its strange nose into the cold silence of geologic time, meditates on marble, quartz and gneiss, and attends to the songs of ravens and thrushes and to the clamour of the industrialized bush. Behind these poems lies the urge to engage the tectonics of planetary dwelling with the rickety contraption of language, and to register the stress, sheer and strain — but also the astonishment — engendered by that necessary failure.

Don McKay is the award-winning author of many books of poetry. He has won two Governor General’s Awards for Poetry, won the Griffin Poetry prize for Strike/Slip and shortlisted twice. He is also the author of five books of non-fiction prose. McKay is also known as a poetry editor, and he has taught poetry in universities across the country. In 2008, he was made a Member of the Order of Canada.
