Description
"In these ‘poems and texts’ Gerry Shikatani ranges ‘far and wee,’ to use e.e.cummings phrase, exploring and inventing, each poetic situation a challenge. But whether as language games or acts of devotion, these little reality probes are full of life and, at odd moments, amazing grace."? Phyllis Webb
