Ghost Maps

Erin Noteboom's wonderful book:

has been short-listed for the League of Canadian Poets' Pat Lowther Memorial Award, given for a book of poems written by a woman and published in the preceding year.

The judges' citation reads:

In Erin Noteboom’s Ghost Maps: Poems For Carl Hruska, the life of a WWII veteran is movingly rendered in a sequence of spare, vivid poems. Crossing boundaries between genres, Noteboom employs dialogue and smooth shifts in perspective to create a fictionalized biography in verse. With echoing imagery and endings both understated and reaching, Ghost Maps unfolds with unerring grace.

This is one of my favorite books. To see some of Erin's work, go here.
