INSCRIPTION FROM JOHN WEIER on title page; As New condition; This book is a poetic journey spanning continents. From the Canadian Prairies readers are whisked away to Australia and Ethiopia in search of exotic birds. Like the migrational patterns of the narrator's quarry, the poems criss-cross and overlap; they are pulled across the land as they search for new tastes, smells, lives, and loves. And as hyenas cackle in the night and cassowaries peck at the side of the road, the memory of the open prairie calls. When readers finally 'tack' for home, they have only to wait until the next migration. As New Paperback Turnstone Pr 2013 Winnipeg, MB
