Description
Winner of the John Hirsch Award for Most Promising Manitoba Writer (Manitoba Writing and Publishing Awards).Patrick O’Connell’s first collection of poetry glides through a transient landscape with ease and sly wit, slipping softly through moonlit city streets, skimming birdlike under bridges, walking in a dream of fields and trees. His constant companions, faith and despair, transport him with metamorphic force, shape-shifting through imaginative territory of disturbing and uncanny beauty.
