Opening the Island is the highly anticipated first book of poetry by one of Canada's most lyrical voices. Always critical, often iconographic, Anne Compton plumbs the classic themes of life, art, love, and home which are masterfully reshaped into a contemporary landscape rich in colour and folds of metaphor.
The result is a rhythm of expression, a texture and critique that weave through the day-to-day, yet strike toward the transcendental.
