Publisher's Synopsis
The smoke from a breakfast fire drifting with morning mist along the still surface of a lake a dawn, the sudden splash of a fish on the silvered mirror beneath the sky...old whiskey, sweet pipe smoke, hot oatmeal and solitude... The work of Canadian poet Gordon R. Menzies resonates with these rustic images of refuge and contemplation. He has collected words from Woody End and the Greensward, the Bay of Nymphs and the Bay of Sleeping Muskies and patched them together for you with fishing line and feather on the Isle of Grimhold, his crucible and sanctuary. Fill your pipe and your glass, and listen to the lake murmur in his song...
