Winner of the McNally Robinson Book of the Year Award (Manitoba Writing and Publishing Awards).
Recent Mistakes is full of stunning metaphor, erotic imagery and precise langauge.
"This is a wonderful book, the words pushing at the limits of the lines, the poems overflowing the pages with the urgency of their invention."
--Malahat Review
