- Summary:
- "The poems of Hyaena Season examine the intimacies of a wide range of human experience from the killing grounds of Rwanda and DR Congo to more familiar Canadian settings. But no matter the topics - whether memories of parents, children, lovers or the even more challenging stories of physical and emotional conflict at home or away - the focus is intensely personal, as the poems grapple with the tensions between life's darkest undercurrents and its most tender epiphanies."-- Provided by publisher.
