st. mary at main
Winner of the Dorothy Livesay Poetry Award. In st. mary at main, Patrick Friesen's lyrical toughness works beautifully to evoke the city of ghost and muscle and frost and fire that is Winnipeg. Written with clarity, insight, and deep compassion, these new poems are acutely tuned to how the streets are wired in a city where the omnipresent wind haunts every corner and the music of the people seems to spill from every doorway.

Great sense of place.
A good collection as a whole that slowly builds on itself, but none of the individual poems really grabbed me.
Also realized while reading this collection that poetry without punctuation really bothers me for some reason. If that doesn't bother you at all, add a point to my review.
