Jane Munro's poems are explorations of the mysteries of inner experience. What are the truths of emotion? What can the body know?

Release Date: September 15, 2007

Longlisted for the 2008 ReLit Awards Whatever their subject -- the unwinding of lovers, childhood as the foundation of being, the metaphorical life of everyday objects and events -- S.E.

by Jan Conn
Language: English
Release Date: February 6, 2015

Reading Edge Effects, Jan Conn’s masterful eighth collection, is a little like looking at Edward Burtynsky’s photographs of real industrial wastelands; both visions are as gorgeous as they are terrifying, platforms for thought, even for activism, depending as they do on the energy of the viewer/reader for completion.
