Words for Trees
AUTHOR | Folkart, Barbara |
PUBLISHER | Dundurn Press (01/01/2007) |
PRODUCT TYPE | eBook (Open Ebook) |
In this Ottawa writer's first volume of verse, there are trees, of course--catalpas on stained-glass transoms, an ever-present crabappel, nameless species in whose bare branches the winter solstice lurks. There is music, too--a whorehouse tango, a string quartet enthralling a favourite cat, the silky caress of a clarinet along the remembered flesh of adolescence. And visual art, from the Middle Ages through Matisse, is reenacted in vignettes of desire or dereliction.
