      "Rich and deceptively simple ... one of Quebec's major poets."--Globe & Mail

      Telephone wires, dark as a line in a schoolboy''s notebook against the dawn; paint flakes from houses drifting down like dust; the hulking shadow of a desk that emerges, stock-still as a cow, in the moment of waking. Join poet Robert Melançon for a quiet celebration of his city, its inhabitants, and the language that gives it life.

      From "Eden":

      You go forth drunk on
      the multitudes, drunk
      on everything, while
      the lampposts sprinkle
      nodding streets with stars.

      Robert Melançon, former poetry columnist for Le Devoir is a recipient of the Governor General''s Award, the Prix Victor-Barbeau, and the Prix Alain-Grandbois.
