The Stone Skippers [Ian Burgham]

The Stone Skippers [Ian Burgham]

Courtesy of Tightrope Books

In The Stone Skippers, Burgham launches dazzling poems that explore the central core of our humanity upon the Canadian literary landscape. The poems examine how love is a territory we map with little skill. The speaker returns again and again to the distances we set up or have imposed upon ourselves by relationships of desire and love, all against the motif of conversations  inner conversations, day-to-day conversations, one-sided conversations, unfinished and halting conversations.
