The Fifth Window

by Russell Thornton

Distinguished by its lyricism, depth of emotion, its metaphysical bent, and the colour and wide range of reference in its imagery, The Fifth Window opens up new vistas of language and experience. The landscape and climate of Vancouver and the BC coast imbue this collection with a spiritual and physical immediacy and energy. The area's trees, mountains, rivers, creeks, and rain inform an ecstatic vision in which the psyche and natural world meet and become one.

This is a very special book. Too bad many of you will not find it.

It was sometimes kind of nice but mostly a bit perverted in a not fun masculine way. But anything that has to do with the Canadian wilderness tickles my brain a little.
