In The Shape of Disappearing Letters, Marty Gervais transforms the experience of vision loss into a deeply moving and unexpectedly luminous body of work. Written during the progression of age-related macular degeneration, these poems chart a world becoming softer and less certain, even as new forms of perception emerge. With clarity, restraint, and emotional precision, Gervais reflects on memory, family, art, and the act of seeing-- both literal and metaphorical. The result is a collection that confronts physical limitation while uncovering moments of wonder, resilience, and creative renewal. A significant contribution to contemporary Canadian poetry, this collection will resonate with readers drawn to intimate, reflective work shaped by lived experience.
