"Virga refers to a cloud formation often seen on the horizon, when rain begins to fall but evaporates before reaching the ground, only to fall again when the time is right. Likewise, the poems gathered here, written over a period of roughly twenty years, between the ages of 20 and 40 - many revised with a slightly wiser eye-- explore what it means to develop an identity while continuously regrouping, reformulating oneself, reacting to prevailing conditions, and retaining autonomy in a sea of "rhythmic lies and half-truths." Through the medium of poetry, Houle converses with her younger self, performing a kind of rescue job, bridging years through poetic reflection."--
