Description

Clouds Flying Before the Eye is Harry Thurston's much-anticipated new collection of poems. Written with rare humanity, it brings together the voices of drowned ancestors and the first cries of Thurston's daughter, the riddle of a relearned Nova Scotia history and the mysteries of biology. A Thurston reader finds an old world lit anew.
