Witty, wonderful and disturbing all at the same time, Candy from Strangers, Diana Hartog's second book, sparkles with the same unforgettable images and turns of phrase as her award-winning Matinee Light. It is a book to return to again and again, in which the passions, fears and delights of the past and present merge in a haunting, dream-like clarity.

Diana Hartog lives in New Denver, B.C. Her first book, Matinee Light, won the Gerald Lampert Memorial Award from the League of Canadian Poets. Of that book critics said:'Hartog's perceptions of human nature are astute, intelligent and delightfully sympathetic to the human condition.' - Kinesis 'The world of these poems is one of flickering but very sharp images, much like the moving pictures of her California childhood,.. the afternoons of matinee light.' Sharon Thesen, Line'A beautifully constructed, disciplined first collection, filled with ironic wit, sensual vitality and subtlety.'- Malahat Review
