Poetry
In Heron Cliff, the heart moves house and finds a home once more in the world. This collection includes poems about the giving up of a beloved home where a son had taken his own life, poems about Button's own childhood, and poems about the larger upheavals and passions of the world. She articulates a vision of life where the darkest grief has a place alongside the most profound joy. >>
Ignite's unflinchingly honest poems tell the story of a broken relationship between a man and a woman, healed by a very physical process of self-discovery which is sparked by the woman's recovery of desire.

Navigating through tragedy with sincere inquiry, Learning to Love a River explores unlikely existences in and of Thunder Bay, a small northern Ontario city rife with stereotypes and misconceptions. >>
