A book I was thoroughly taken with this year was Dominique Bernier-Cormier's poetry collection Entre Rive and Shore. As in his excellent first book, Correspondent, Bernier-Cormier draws together the micro-politics of his family and the macro-politics of world history to great emotional effect. Here, the Acadian Expulsion mirror's the author's personal search for a home between languages and cultures. In their formal experimentations, these poems manage - rather miraculously - to bridge that gap.
Rob Taylor's fifth poetry collection, Weather, will be published in Spring 2024 from Gaspereau Press.
