• Where the Wild Things Are

    "Canadian poetry has a long tradition of exploring and surviving the wilderness. Pratt, Service, Lee, Atwood – all have been interested, obsessed even, with a landscape both beautiful and terrifying. In fact, it's become cliché that our national poetry is infatuated with the wild and man's place in it. For this reason, Toronto-born Dani Couture is the much-needed urban update of our national literary obsession with a natural world."

    –Stacey May Fowles for Broken Pencil
