- Author: Roberts, CleaDate:Copyrighted2010Summary:
"With her remarkable debut collection, Yukon poet Clea Roberts proffers a perceptive & ecological reading of the Canadian North's past & present.Roberts deftly draws out the moments that comprise a cycle of seasons, paying as much attention to the natural'the winter moon's second-hand light that pools in the tracks of tree squirrels & loose threads of migrating birds'as she does to the manufactured'the peripheral percussion of J-brakes & half-melted ice lanterns. She also casts her gaze back to the Klondike Gold Rush of 1897-1898, raising the voices of those marked by a frenetic race for fortune: a seductive, edgy wolf, a disillusioned photographer, and a pragmatic prostitute, among others.Here Is Where We Disembark is a beautifully crafted book that ignites the senses, and its presence lingers, like woodsmoke, long after the final page has been turned."
