In Give My Love to Rose, Dwayne Brenna reveals the intimacy of a long marriage with warmth and astonishing generosity. These poems of a life partnership are fresh, resonant and honest. With the success of his recent Hagios title, Stealing Home: Baseball Poems, which was nominated for the Saskatchwan Book of the Year, it is clear that Brenna's work reflects an accomplished poet's engagement with personal and universal themes.
