I like this poem. It makes me giggle. by Exene Cervenka

Wolfgang Wackernagel

Check out this amazing book of poetry by my friend the poet, Sandy Pool.

In Exploding into Night, Sandy Pool delves into the heart of a grisly murder that took place in the Parkdale area of Toronto. With its dazzling turns and deafening silence, this narrative poem is a stark reappraisal of urban existence and its heartache. Pool’s metaphysical landscape speaks in multiple voices and prods the very nature of our collective conscience. A selection of poems from this collection was awarded First Place in the 2009 Elora Writers’ Festival Poetry Contest.{Guernica Editions}

My good friend Sandy Pool was short-listed for a 2010 Canadian Governor General Literary Award for her poetry book, Exploding into Night.

Congrats Sandy. I’m so proud of you!

Sandy and I have collaborated on three works of illustrated poetry that contain excerpts from Exploding Into Night. Our pieces Barren Land, Songs for the Pocket Anatomist and Holy Water Heart are a collage of poetry and images.
