Praise for Tim Lilburn: "Lilburn's work is richly figurative, but firmly rooted in colloquial speech. He is not only a virtuoso at the linguistic level, taking risks with metaphor and line, but also steeped in a metaphysics of place."  -Jury citation, Governor General's Award   "His long dense melodic lines are full of verve and snap, offering lightning changes in register and a reluctance to leave any part of speech unturned." -Globe and Mail   "Striking and original. [Lilburn captures] the mystical and ecstatic moments when self and world are united."  -Booklist   "Tim Lilburn brings us face to face with the beguiling, bewildering strangeness of the world."  -The Fiddlehead   "One of our more thoughtful and inventive poets."  -Quill & Quire.
