| Publisher Description: Previously published for a poetry reading at McNaughton Centre (Quesnel, BC, 2007), entitled The Couple From England, poems. Revised Edition: LukivPress (Victoria, BC, 2019). // An excerpt // Local Boys // We practised dying, / The local boys and I, / Contorting in Untouchable / Shadows, falling over board fences, / Jerking, twisting in pain on weedful / Lawns, practising for the big contest. / "Let's find out who can / Die best " / The Eliot Ness of 27th Avenue, / The boy with the Tommy Gun, yelled: / "Ratatatatatata " He fired gleefully / At a "Valentine's Day" line up / Of Olivier-performers / Scattering like bats. // Sometimes I won, and that was / A great day, to die, twitching in the sun, / Better than all the other boys. |
