Synopsis
Don't suspend disbelief. Don't arrest it, curtail it, or unfrock it. Disbelief is in the fine print scratched at the bottom of Leon Rooke's literary contract. ... If we relinquish anything to read Rooke, it should be sobriety.

From the Back Cover
`These unexpected poems, from fiction-master Leon Rooke, are full of swerves and rages, sudden stillnesses and the grit of real compassion. Their colloquialism rearranges your mind. Both love and anger have hope at their heart; among other things, these poems want to waken that hope.'
(Anne Michaels)About the Author
An energetic and prolific storyteller, Leon Rooke's writing is characterized by inventive language, experimental form and an extreme range of characters with distinctive voices. He has written a number of plays for radio and stage and produced numerous collections of short stories. It is his novels, however, that have received the most critical acclaim. Fat Woman (1980) was shortlisted for the Governor General's Award and won the Paperback Novel of the Year Award. Shakespeare's Dog won the Governor General's Award in 1983. As a play, Shakespeare's Dog has toured as far afield as Barcelona and Edinburgh. A Good Baby was made into a feature film. Rooke founded the Eden Mills Writers' Festival in 1989. In 2007, Rooke was made a member of the Order of Canada. Other awards include the Canada/Australia prize, the W O Mitchell Award, the North Carolina Award for Literature and two ReLits (for short fiction and poetry). In 2012, he was the winner of the Gloria Vanderbilt Carter V Cooper Fiction Award. Recently, Rooke's works The Fall of Gravity and Shakespeare's Dog were produced in new editions for France and Italy, two countries where his work has been greatly admired.
