About this title

Synopsis

These superb poems reconnect us to the living earth, taking our breath away as experience unfolds in never-ending wonder. Long considered "The poet of the Cariboo," Rhenisch revisions the people and places of the high plateau between the Fraser and the Thompson. He also takes us back to the world of Europe, showing us how the architects built no warm homes for the angels, only dark, draughty cathedrals.
