Sorry Anthony
But it might very well be a Newfoundland poet, & their books, when
published, don't seem to make it out West here (luckily, on the prairies,
we tend not to be terrorized by fish, of whatever colour [on the other
hand, don't get me started about the many multicoloured bison lining the
streets here in Edmonton during the World's]).
I'll keep my eyes peeled, though...

I chose poetry because every line set out
so hopefully from a new margin, and
because my heart was hot and unbowed.
