Bogman’s Music

‘Bogman’s Music’ is a debut collection of poetry that is both elegiac and sensitive in its exploration of family dynamics, the enduring power of childhood experience, and the healing ability of faith and love.

“It’s gritty and quirky, and at times almost spins out of but for a formality that always tends to rein in thing.” – The Georgia Straight
