ISBN: 1894759273 ISBN-13: 9781894759274 Publisher: Caitlin Press OUR PRICE: $14.36 Product Type: Paperback Published: November 2007 Annotation: "Finding Ft. George" is the poetic record of Rob Budde's growing love of Prince George and the Cariboo north-central region of BC. The poems are an act of discovery and they describe the various social, political, historical and environmental systems that Budde encounters with the eye of a patient, astute observer. Engaging in the language of location, each poem explores a place, a time and the process of building a relationship between the two. Sometimes gritty, sometimes ironic, sometimes barely able to see the place at all, the poems are all love poems to a new home--gifts of arrival. |
