The True Names of Birds
The True Names of Birds is the first book-length collection from a voice that has captured the attention of Canadian poetry readers for the last half-dozen years. Deeply centred in domestic life, Goyette’s work is informed by a muscular lyricism. These are poems that push the limits, always true to their roots.
“This is a fresh new voice with a tense lyrical intelligence. This is a collection to begin everything with, a cure for silence, secrets that arrive with a steady eloquence.” –Patrick Lane
“After inhabiting Goyette’s poems for awhile, their weave of metaphors begins to spin into something [profound]: a mythological milieu that defines and gives musical resonance to the poet’s own life. This is how you make a home.”–Jeanette Lynes, The Antigonish Review
“These poems revolve around domestic life … they’re lyrical and compelling, with a strong use of metaphor.”–Nico Mara-McKay, Shelf Life.
