Sway

by Holly Luhning

*Longlisted for the 2003 ReLit Award for Poetry

*Shortlisted for the 2004 Saskatchewan Book Award for First Book

Drawn from the diversity of her prairie roots, east coast experience, and world travel, Luhning measures her poems in details of how place shapes language. Blind fish swim in ancient streams, glaciers ebb and flow faithful to fluidity, hoar frost hugs the power poles — all for a reason.
