Track & Trace

by Zachariah Wells

The poems in Zachariah Wells’s second collection range from childhood to dimly foreseen events in the future; they idle on all three of Canada’s coasts, travel the open road, take walks in the city and pause on the banks of country streams and ponds.

Reviews

[Jack Mitchell · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a lovely collection of lyric poems. Most turn on careful observations of moments or pieces of a rural scene, often set on PEI or in Nova Scotia but sometimes in Montreal and elsewhere. The vivid images leave a strong impression, and they are not laid on too thickly. About half of them use rhyme or close assonance as a structuring device, very effectively. The book is beautifully designed and sits very nicely in the hand.
