Synopsis

"It is rare to come across a first collection of poems that leaves the reader feeling completely captivated and awed...Yin's highly imagistic style brims with freshly-conceived similes and metaphors and an economy of language that belies the powerful messages of loss and love." -- Laura Lush, Poet & Instructor, University of Toronto

About this title

Review:

It is a beautiful book, crafted by a beautiful poet. You have a great tell-tale line. It is "You outlive." Beautiful, beautiful. -John Robert Colombo "Anna Yin's delicate, sensitive and haunting poetry will sweep you off your feet, carry you to exciting, exotic places and land you right in your own backyard. From her carefully crafted Haiku, to her sorrowful, melodic, sweet verses, you will not be able to put her work down, nor will you be able to read those beautiful poems only once. You will want to read them over and over again."--I.B. Iskov, editor and founder of the Ontario Poetry Society
