Hidden City

Poetry. 2014 Robert Kroetsch Award For Innovative Poetry Winner. How does a place get in your bones? How do you become the bones of a place? HIDDEN CITY unearths memories that don't want to be found. A poem cycle that speaks through disembodied voices—the parts of ourselves we don't want to acknowledge, but which refuse to be silenced—HIDDEN CITY's post-lyrical form opens a secret door to the experience of nostalgia for a traumatic past.

"This is a crackling, energetic, desperate suite of poems. Weird and worrying."—Ken Babstock, author of Methodist Hatchet
