Full Depth

Raymond Knister was a rising Canadian literary star when he died mysteriously of drowning in 1932. In this debut collection Micheline Maylor considers the circumstances surrounding Knister’s sudden death and deftly captures the voices of those caught up in the tragedy. Treading gently through innuendo and rumour, Maylor draws the reader into the story with finely etched portraits of the characters and their imagined emotions.

Reviews

“Maylor’s imagistic poetics and exquisite lyricism ensure an enthralling read.” – Canadian Literature

“With beautiful simplicity, these poems trail the scent of ripe tomatoes. They stroke the skin at the nape of the neck. And they leave on the consciousness the imprint of a tentative footstep in snow.” – Calgary Herald
