Product Description Poetry. Don Domanski's eighth book of poetry is full of a meditative alertness that, through metaphor and insight, manages to simultaneously transform our reality and reveal it. In fluid, intensely moving poems, Domanski shows us what Roo Borson calls a "mirror for the inexhaustible" and is nothing less than an illuminating distillation of what it means to be alive in a sentient universe. This is a book to renew one's belief in the sacredness of writing. "As far as I am concerned, there is no better poet writing in English."--Mark Strand. Don Domanki was born and raised in Cape Breton Island and now lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia. In 1999 he won the Canadian Literary Award for Poetry. Published and reviewed internationally, his work has been translated into Czech, Portuguese, and Spanish.
