“Just when it seemed poetry had become the orphan art in our day, along comes a young poet like Priscila Uppal to astonish. Her poems put down roots in your mind, in words that wound. And heal. A wonderful debut collection.” —Rosemary Sullivan
“Her voice is coiled and powerful containing underlying passion, sometimes anger… Sometimes (the poems) are simply beautiful.” —National Post
Poetry; 1998 • 6 x 9 inches • PB 86 pages • 9781550962307
