Mary Frost

6 X 9 inches, 128 pages

Penumbra Press Poetry Series, No. 52

"AT LAST, a volume of poetry by Mary Frost. Her voice has stayed with me for years. These stunning poems combine the holy and the everyday. The language is luminous and here we are, along with Frost, touching the mystery of time and life. Her sense of humanity is great. One can only say "thank you" for these words and lines and for the images that show something we have always known. A teapot carried over from Finland, an old soldier on Remembrance Day, children on the shore: all are transformed by this poet's magic. A wonderful book of exquisite poetry."

Veronica Ross, former writer-in-residence in Thunder Bay

"Ireland gave Mary Frost song and the landscape of Celtic legend. The Canadian Shield has contributed spareness to her wise and fiesty poems.
For years, reading her poems in manuscript, I have considered her the most accomplished poet in Canada and Ireland to be without a book. Straightlines is some debut!"
Claude Liman, Lakehead University
