Description
One of Canadian poetry's best-kept secrets is Maureen McCarthy, whose first book She Reminds Me of Vermeer drew accolades across the country. Nine years later, her second collection drew even higher praises.
"I have the sense of seeing things with her eyes and mind, of actually being in her situation, and it's this intimacy that gives her poems power."
-Al Purdy
