From the Governor-General's Award-winning poet, a brilliant and provocative book of essays, responding to patterns in current literature and thought. The writing is intimate, improvisational, enthusiastic. Compton considers among many topics, how the writer changes in retirement; the obsession with the house in fiction; the role of place in poetry; the relationship between poetry and the visual arts; and contemporary notions of the beautiful.
