Description
"Weier writes with the flair of a virtuoso and the tenderness of a lover. The poet's double, the violinmaker, lingers over the heft and shine of Weier's work. We hear everywhere in this book the compulsive rhythms of their attentions. Weier's is the music of a poet who knows the world in its terrible wonder and loss. A daring and accomplished book!" - Dennis Cooley
About the author
John Weier believes nothing is simple, especially his writing: his memoirs are novels, and his novels documentary. His poetry is prose and follows diary lines, his prose is poetic. The author of five previous collections of poetry, three works of fiction, two nature memoirs and a children’s book, John often writes about his passions, travel, birding and the violin. Weier lives and writes in Winnipeg where he also works as a luthier.
