I've mentioned my taste for this place before, but today it confirmed my preference. I've been meaning to read poetry by Don McKay and Jan Zwicky, and there they were:

• Don McKay, Strike/Slip ($15) and
• Jan Zwicky, Songs for Relinquishing the Earth ($8).

The McKay really is gorgeous stuff, from my dipping into it. Tom Wayman's My Father's Cup has gone back onto the shelf -- sorry, Tom!
