A playfully inventive and invigorating debut collection of poetry from a finalist for the CBC Poetry Prize and the Walrus Poetry Prize. With settings ranging from the ancient sites of Greece and Rome to the museums of Europe, from the barracks of Auschwitz to the streets of North Central Regina, the inner-city neighbourhood where the poet grew up, the poems in Cassidy McFadzean's dazzling first collection embrace myth and metaphysics and explore the contradictory human impulses to create art and enact cruelty.
