Synopsis

Winner of the Dorothy Livesay Poetry Award. In st. mary at main, Patrick Friesen's lyrical toughness works beautifully to evoke the city of "ghost and muscle" and "frost and fire" that is Winnipeg. Written with clarity, insight, and deep compassion, these new poems are acutely tuned to "how the streets are wired" in a city where the omnipresent wind haunts every corner and the music of the people seems to spill from every doorway.
