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...

Includes 105 poems. Illustrated in black and white. Unmarked. Moderate wear and soiling. Binding sound. Nice copy. Book

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.
