Go

With awe and wonder leading the way, Leedahl’s poems chronicle a journey that speaks of resilience, of joy experienced in simple things, and of the solace in discovering–finally, and late in life–exactly where one belongs. Leedahl’s fifth poetry collection lyrically documents major life transitions and reveals how loneliness–the other contemporary epidemic–compels one to keep moving. .

Reviews

Go. What an unassuming title for a substantial book by such a good writer. Beauty is close and moving in the hands of this poet … she doesn’t look away from the hard parts of life. “Winter, you love the scars of me.” These poems brim with surprise. They are poems of being present and “where we are truest”. There’s a movement toward hope, and an undercurrent of healing that passes from poet to reader.
–Bruce Rice, Saskatchewan Poet Laureate 2019-2021, and author of The Vivian Poems<, The Trouble with Beauty, and Life in the Canopy<

“I love these new poems and find the writing irresistibly energetic and imaginative. It’s a beautiful, bountiful piece of work.” –Barry Dempster, author of Invisible Dogs, Love Outlandish, and The Burning Alphabet

“A distinctive voice, employing language restraint to evoke mystery … the work is imagistic and narrative with an acute sense of what to leave out to entice the reader.”
–Marilyn Dumont, author of A Really Good Brown Girl and The Pemmican Eaters

“These are carefully spoken love poems in a style that is constant and sure.” –Fred Wah, former Canadian Parliamentary Poet Laureate and author of Diamond Grill and Waiting for Saskatchewan
