- Summary:
- "This compilation of selected poems from three of his books is a fine introduction to the French-Canadian poet Jean Royer. Kindled by the death of his mother and his partner, Micheline LaFrance, Royer captures in poetic verse an emotional and intellectual world that seems to be fading away. There is also a sense of vigil, of watch, of alert in these precise and simple words"-- Provided by publisher.
