North End Love Songs by Katherena Vermette

3.0

This collection of poetry by Katherena Vermette plunges into the tirelessly beating heart of North End Winnipeg. The elms shadow the vulnerable sidewalks, the houses tired and worn, the River a hope and a current dragging a generation away onto its washed up shores. These poems are not melancholic, though. They glisten like the ice sparkling on fresh snow. The wildflowers will persist.
