1963107 pages. "With the publishing of this volume, Mrs. Simkin's work doubtless will find its place in future anthologies of Canadian verse. Uncomplicated, notably without pessimism, hers is in shart contrast to much poetry of our time... It distils the essence of Maritime practicality and good cheer and blends it with the dauntless optimism so characteristic of those who have known the rigors of Western farm life and have loved and understood the prairie moods, even those that are harsh to the point of cruelty." - from Preface. Includes 105 poems. Illustrated in black and white. Unmarked. Moderate wear and soiling. Binding sound. Nice copy. Book

"This is a book of images - fleeting moments in a construction project captured on film. "North East Coal" conjures up many different images: to those who negotiated sales agreements in Canada and Japan there is one set; to those who spent years styding and planning the development other memories come to the fore; to those who worked on the construction projects across northern British Columbia there are other pictures; and to those who live in Tumbler Ridge and work in jobs created by the development yet still another set of images surfaces. We hope that the pages of this book will trigger all these memories." - from foreward. Wonderfully illustrated with colour photography. Negligible wear to clean bright and unmarked book. Three closed tears to attractive dust jacket which bears light wear. Very nice copy. Mitchell Press Hardcover
