Description
George Stanley's first book in five years contains thirty new pieces reflecting his idea that a poem is after all about something. Here are poems about movies, ballparks, hocky, dogs, sex, aging, trips to Calgary and Veracruz, Ireland and Scotland, his return to Terrace, BC, where he lives for fifteen years, each poem demonstrating an engagement with the world and its particulars.

A former instructor in the English department at Capilano College, he has published seven books, including Vancouver: A Poem, At Andy's, Gentle Northern Summer, Opening Day, The Stick, and You. He is the recipient of the 2006 Shelley Memorial Award for Poetry.
