Salvage by Michael Crummey

Salvage by Michael Crummey

Salvage is a beautifully crafted new book of poems. It opens with a signpost alerting the reader to Poems about Loss/ Next 100 Pages, poems about loved ones, relationships, innocence, faith - all gone. But paradoxically people and events in Michael Crummey's embrace are too vivid to fade away. Summer and winter visits to a Finnish cemetery in Northern Ontario, the aftermath of a mysterious act of arson in Kingston, Ontario, a run around fogged-in Quidi Vidi Lake, St. John's, Newfoundland - these experiences and others are rendered indelible in spare, luminous poems infused with conscience and heightened attention. Michael Crummey will break your heart and mend it too.

Michael Crummey is the author of three collections of poetry: Arguments with Gravity, Hard Light, and, most recently, Salvage, which won the Writer's Alliance of Newfoundland and Labrador Book Prize for Poetry. He's also the author of Flesh & Blood, a collection of short stories; River Thieves and The Wreckage, two critically acclaimed and bestselling books; and Newfoundland: Journey into a Lost Country, a collaboration with photographer Greg Locke. He is a resident of St. Newfoundland's capital is St. John's.
