Recensioner i media

"Recently, the examination of place has become an important theme in American literature; here it is carried out in verse. Giscombe visits sites in northern Canada named for relative John Robert Giscome, a 19th-century Jamaican miner and explorer. His journey, though, is as much interior as exterior, resulting in poems that are at once meditative and visually stunning." -- Library Journal
