Walking into the Night Sky by Lyn King - This Afternoon (Brick Books) - Brick Books Poetry Map (sitios de interés)

Lyn King’s sensibility is exquisitely tuned to possibilities. She writes from inside the moment as though from inside a drop of water, extending it in stop-time, looking for the key to the mystery that releases past into future.

What was, what could have been, what might be, all of these inhabit her present as translucent partners in a shadow dance. Or perhaps it is the present that is the ghost, searching for a way to anchor itself in the welter of memory and desire.

Lyn King was born in Ireland and immigrated to Canada as a child. She now lives north of Toronto. Her poetry has appeared in many Canadian literary magazines. Brick Books published Lyn's first book, The Pre-Geography of Snow, in 1987. Walking into the Night Sky is her second book.
