Contrary Infatuations

by Dymphny Dronyk

Contrary Infatuations is a collection of lyrical snapshots that take the reader to familiar places of both heartbreak and celebration. Whether chronicling the mucky reality of a lone woman working in the oil and gas sector or describing the wounds of widowhood there is a reverence for the natural world and an underlying theme of hope.

I love the creative non-fiction feel of these poems based on the author's life experiences, particularly those related to her time as camp cook.
