AvH releases book of narrative poetry about the Calgary Stampede and all aspects of the west.
This west, the story goes, is a real place, with sky and sagebrush, with a smell and a swagger and a whiskey swig sweetness uncorrupted by language. In this real west the distilled perfections of mornings and afternoons and evenings are not just observed or articulated but tasted, touched, worn.
