Governor General's Award Winner for Poetry "Anne Compton's Processional is both a still-life and a tableau, with moments of perfect stillness and of passionate arrival. This book skillfully marries history to the present, and pulls the everyday into light." -- Governor General Jury's Comments Winner of the 2006 Atlantic Poetry Prize Shortlisted for the 2006 Pat Lowther Memorial Award |
