About

A poetic masterclass from a writer at the height of his craft Kenneth Sherman's work has always displayed a vibrant lyricism, so it's no surprise that his powerful new collection contains a number of poems with musical motifs. In such pieces as "Clarinet," "Transistor Sister," and the book's titular poem, Sherman ponders our human transience while searching for "a voice to stand time's test." Sherman also confronts health concerns in a language that is Shaker-plain. The book concludes with the sombre, compassionate, and truly remarkable seven-part "Kingdom," a meditation on the plight of the dispossessed. Sherman has also included three brilliant translations of Yiddish poets that appeared in the Malahat Review's "At Home in Translation" issue.

Reviews

"Sherman always seems to be listening to the voice of Canadian soil and landscape at the same time as he is attentive to the great European metaphysical theme of the soul in conflict with the world and time."
Globe and Mail, Fraser Sutherland
