A figure journeys through his old city, speaking sonnets - some from memory, some from contemporary condition and relationship with his place. He has no way to return home. He is in exile.
Reviews:
"There is at the heart of this book the kind of existential struggle, that when encountered in poetry, we find cathartic and fortifying."
- Tom Henihan, author of A Further Exile, and A mortar of seeds.
"All golden books are Bibles -- art illuminated and brilliant with vision. Few poets succeed in making such books. Among English Canadians, there are Leonard Cohen and Gwendolyn MacEwen. And let us add Boyd Warren Chubbs...[his] art is superb, classical; his words refresh prophecy and chant gospel...Chubbs is able to show us the actual world -- one of doom and eternity -- that we otherwise refuse to see."
- George Elliot Clark, Governor General's award winner for poetry
“This collection is ceremonial, dense, and rewarding. Worth pacing out, in step with the cadence of the enclosed sonnets.”
- Joan Sullivan, The Telegram
