Quote of the Day  ©BrummetMedia.ca " Truth is light of foot  like a fawn,  not heavy like lead.  It is young  with the spirit of youth,  but we bend it  with weight  in its still young years.

Star Things ,  winner of the 2020 Dynamo Verlag Book Prize, contains ninety pages of " sixty-one brief yet powerful poems work in a broad array of forms, at once playful and dead serious, taking risks, toying with readers’ expectations and delivering seemingly effortless coups de grâce with a sly wink ."
