Description

Finalist, Dorothy Livesay Poetry Prize (BC Book Prizes)

Ivanhoe Station is a début collection that rivets with poetic imagery as sharp as movie graphics. These poems address, in turn, social and political questions, while focussing - centrally - on a theme of transcendence.

Praise for Ivanhoe Station:

"These poems pack a wallop. They 'steam and churn' with the energy of the city." (Lorna Crozier)

"a moral vision, lofty in its ideals, but glorious in its deliverance." (UPTOWN Magazine)

"Lyle Neff's poems mix sexual bravura with a vaguely formulated political awareness." (Canadian Book Review Annual)
