Riassunto

In the second volume of the Lyrik Poetry Series, honouring Canada’s foremost Mennonite poets, CMU Press presents the fine poetry, past and present, of Manitoba’s John Weier, who has been publishing poetry, creative non-fiction, experimental fiction, memoir, naturalist writing, and children’s books in a writing career of more than 40 years. The poems are lyrical, reflective, often dealing with travel and the natural world, but always against a backdrop of loss. Including an introduction by editor Nathan Dueck and an afterword by the poet.
