Publisher's Synopsis
"Serious, playful, and governed by the eye's apprehension of the familiar as well as the shockingly new, Yvonne Blomer's "Book of Places" takes us cycling through Asian landscapes, Britain's stone cathedrals, and the intimate landmarks of home, where these poems accumulate earthly wonders: rivers and rain, animals, leaves, bamboo's hollow knock against stone. She drops the pebble of a word into a mirror pool, and its ripples expand into the still pond of the reader's mind."-- Pamela Porter, author of" I'll be Watching, Cathedral, " and GovernorGeneral's Award winner "The Crazy Man"
