Poetry. A remarkable new voice in Canadian poetry, Leifso reveals the secrets of a rural Albertan childhood with unflinching honesty and exquisite language in her powerful debut collection. With her original style and candid voice, Leifso transforms an ordinary story into an extraordinary legend, offering the reader a glimpse of the mythic beneath the mundane. "Brenda Leifso looks for the gold in the tar, and remarkably extracts it for her readers"-George McWhirter. Brenda Leifso has worked variously as the executive editor for PRISM international, a writing instructor and a writing workshop facilitator.
