This poetry collection begins with childhood experience in a Newfoundland fishing village during the 1960s and moves from there to contemporary Montreal, with forays into such cities as Biarritz and Budapest. The manuscript was one of two selected by Cormorant Books editor Robyn Sarah from seventy-two submissions. One of the poems in the book, Biarritz, made the longlist in the first Montreal International Poetry Competition, i.e was one of 150 poems selected from among 3000 submitted by writers around the world.
