Shortlisted for the City of Victoria Butler Book Prize 2017In her new collection, two-time Governor General's Award nominee Patricia Young decodes the fragile narratives that hold together our collective sense of self. Her poems leave no aspect of human nature untouched: passions, shames, and even our most blasé conditions are transformed through bold and unconventional metaphors. Young will comfort you and scare you with the same question, revelation, turn of phrase, yet she accomplishes all this amid an unquenchable joy, an abandon only barely contained. | Short Takes on the Apocalypse by Patricia Young, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
