Lexicon books in Lunenburg, N.S. is hosting a co-launch for two new poetry titles! The launch will feature Matt Robinson’s Some Nights It’s Entertainment; Some Other Nights Just Work and Margo Wheaton’s The Unlit Path Behind The House. The event will take place February 25th at 7p.m.
A powerful new Maritime voice chronicles spiritual dispossession and desire, our longing for home, and the ways we find it.
Wheaton’s poems sing at the intersections where public and private worlds collide: the steady cadence of a boy carrying an unconscious girl in his arms, the afternoon journey of a woman taking books to prisoners, the rhythmic breathing of a homeless man asleep in a parking lot.
