A book of contemplation. Hung up between coming and going. Caught lingering, thinking it through. Synapses firing. Heavy to ponder, "architects in eternity / have weighted the dice darkly".

Michael Boughn fuses visionary apperception with mature reflection to mercuriate socio-politically through "flesh disguised as fact", inside the sometime inspecific fruitions of living .. sfumato, then vividly twists into it a generous undertow of love.

Michael Boughn's City is explicit in its celebration of the urban as a pumping heart with architecture. Boughn approaches the 'common' with an open language knowing full well that some who share the space may not 'understand.' His Walden is a full-canopied forest of neighbourhoods within and around which true solace is found, but only after much searching. Victor Coleman City mirrors the soul's own anthems, landmarks, apparitions and traffic j...

Michael Boughn weaves together multiple plots, deals within deals, and double crosses galore as David and Clai...

Poetry. GREAT CANADIAN POEMS FOR THE AGED VOL. 1. ILLUS. ED. dares to go where no book of Canadian poetry has gone before--deep into the heart of darkness epitomized by the idea of the Great White North. Except white is not dark.

In a contemporary world which discards memory and experience along with last seasons shoes, any building over 25 years old, and millions of tons of last years computers and cell phones, these poems recycle archeologically recovered materials into a funny, lively exploration of the possibilities of creation in a world where the young think that what Duke Ellington made wasnt really m...

Adrift in history and myth, fairy tales and TV, the tedious and the marvellous, you'll find "Dislocations in Crystal." These poems move through the world opened by Prince Henry the Navigator's epoch-shifting push to open a sea route around Africa to the Spice Isles.
