- Summary:
- "A collection of Poems by Patrick Connors. "In Pat Connors'The Other Life,hockey, Jesus, love of literature, and childhood memories appear alongside one another--an improbable mix. But Connors makes it work, fighting his "cold/dark, closed over" side with inspiration and a hearty dose of humour. Connors' confessional poems include the memory of a harsh father, helping to explain the origins of this artist as a young man."-- Provided by publisher.
