This is a volume of poetry to be savoured, treasured, and reflected upon in the midst of everyday routines. MacLoed's poetry and memories become an avenue of personal exploration."--Joanna M.

Part of this vision is manifest in the many poems invoking images of lost loved ones, whether that be an ex-husband, a mother in her girlhood, a deceased grandmother, or a cousin who wandered off a cliff."--Canadian Literature
