| Spar: Words in Place Peter Sanger 2002 / Books & reading / $49.95 9781894031554 / Fine / 112 pp Edition is out of print Peter Sanger’s poetry has always demonstrated his extraordinary focus and vigorous engagement with the objects that surround him. These four essays find their basis in the everyday stuff of backwoods Nova Scotia, demonstrating how a road with two names, a crooked knife, an abandoned shipyard and a fragment of gypsum might hone our thoughts and shape our sense of words in place. Review: “Prose, Sophocles says, is the kind of poetry that walks instead of dances—or that is what prose was when Plato was a kid. That is the kind of walking, and the kind of poetry, Sanger has given us here. I’ve never seen the Shubenacadie River, nor set foot on Sanger’s farm, but he has taught me how to love them, as only one who knows where home is can.” Robert Bringhurst, Globe and Mail Is a special edition of the book: 9781894031547 | Other Books by this Author |  | Sea Run: Notes on John Thompson’s Stilt Jack Peter Sanger 2023 / Literary Criticism Canadian Poetry / $28.95 CAN 9781554472581 / Trade paper / 144 pp |  | Biorachan Road Peter Sanger 2022 / Essay / $150.00 CAN Fine / 22 pp |  | Odysseus Asleep: Uncollected Sequences, 1994-2019 Peter Sanger 2019 / Canadian Poetry / $21.95 CAN 9781554472048 / Trade paper / 128 pp |  | Lightfield: The Photography of Thaddeus Holownia Peter Sanger 2018 / Photography, Essays, Canadian Art / $24.95 CAN 9781554471775 / Trade paper / 112 pp |  | Of Things Unknown: Critical Essays, 1978–2005 Peter Sanger 2015 / Literary Criticism / $34.95 CAN 9781554471508 / Trade paper / 368 pp |  | Oikos Peter Sanger 2014 / Essay / $9.95 CAN 9781554471256 / Pamphlet / 16 pp |  | Fireship: Early Poems, 1965–1991 Peter Sanger 2013 / Poetry / $25.95 CAN 9781554471218 / Trade paper / 192 pp |  | John Stokes’ Horse Peter Sanger 2012 / Poetry / $21.95 CAN 9781554471133 / Trade paper / 128 pp |  | Through Darkling Air: The Poetry of Richard Outram Peter Sanger 2010 / Biography / $65.95 CAN 9781554470617 / Hardcover / 512 pp |  | The Stone Canoe: Two Lost Mi’kmaq Texts Peter Sanger, Elizabeth Paul, Alan Syliboy 2007 / Literary Criticism / $29.95 CAN 9781554470433 / Trade paper / 192 pp |  | Aiken Drum Peter Sanger 2006 / Poetry / $49.95 CAN 9781554470150 / Fine / 144 pp |  | Aiken Drum Peter Sanger 2006 / Poetry / $19.95 CAN 9781554470143 / Trade paper / 144 pp |  | White Salt Mountain: Words in Time Peter Sanger 2005 / Books & reading / $59.95 CAN 9781554470037 / Fine / 240 pp |  | White Salt Mountain: Words in Time Peter Sanger 2005 / Books & reading / $27.95 CAN 9781554470044 / Trade paper / 240 pp |  | Spar: Words in Place Peter Sanger 2002 / Books & reading / $21.95 CAN 9781894031547 / Trade paper / 112 pp |  | Divisions of the Heart: Elizabeth Bishop and the Art of Memory and Place Sandra Barry, Peter Sanger, Gwendolyn Davies 2001 / Essays / $32.95 CAN 9781894031318 / Trade paper / 336 pp |  | Kerf Peter Sanger 2001 / Poetry / $4.95 CAN 9781894031530 / Pamphlet / 24 pp |
