These are not poems about the bush. They are poems about people coming to terms with the limits of their knowledge and reaffirming their reliance on each other, in the face of dehumanizing institutions and a powerful and mysterious world.
—Harold Rhenisch
The poet writes about the things he knows and understands so well … successful. For an English reader this is a collection with an interesting difference.
—New Hope International Review (UK)
Deeply moving poems about the connection between human and animal life. The poetic craft is unassuming but sound.
—Alice Major
Lorne Dufour supports his family near McLesse Lake in the British Columbia Interior by horse logging a woodlot.
