Poetry. Music. Finalist, Raymond Souster Award League of Canadian Poets. "[B]eautiful debut collection...too many great poems inside to quote...Gardiner's lush, piercing collection is layered with climatological subtext and personal history, sure enough of its voice to thaw the coldest of hearts."-- BUST , Amber Tamblyn's Poetry Corner "Writers, like skaters, score the blank sheet and test the edge of inclusion and exclusion.
