Stephanie McKenzie’s third collection brings together two great artists – Emily Carr (1871-1945) and Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) – both infamously frustrated by societies that did not understand them. With skilful hand and uncompromising heart, McKenzie tackles the formidable project of discovering not just their paintings, but also connections in the lives, souls and sensibilities of these extraordinary artists.

“Each poem is as carefully crafted as Van Gogh’s sunflowers or Carr’s forests, inviting us into a revelatory communion.”
– Michelle Johnson, World Literature Today
