Description
Reminiscent of the quilt pattern from which it takes its name, Deanna Young’s Drunkard’s Path pieces varied life experiences into a patchwork of poems, negotiating the twisted, meandering terrain of memory and relationships.
About the author
Deanna Young's previous collections are House Dreams (Brick Books, 2014), nominated for the Trillium Book Award for Poetry, the Ottawa Book Award, the Archibald Lampman Award, and the ReLit Award; Drunkard's Path (Gaspereau Press, 2001); and The Still Before a Storm (Moonstone Press, 1984). Born in the village of Lucan in southwestern Ontario, she grew up there, in neighbouring townships, and in the nearby city of London during the 1970s and '80s. Reunion belongs to that place and time. She now lives in Ottawa, where she works as an editor and teaches poetry privately.
Editorial Reviews
“Deanna Young has written a disarming first collection which not only deftly threads original motifs through a range of disparate poems, but also possesses a welcome sense of the irony and humour present in almost all things.” Kimmy Beach, Sub Terrain
