Winner of the Saskatchewan Book Award. Continuing his defiance of the "poetry police," Berzensky has smuggled into the world a new collection of poems that insist on the subversive power of the imagination to set us free. Against the tyrany and despair of the twentieth–century, he offers light and liberation, for in this book of variations, the moment of birth "cancels death forever," and "there are always/new holes in the air/for us to leap through."
