Exploding into Night

In Exploding into Night, Sandy Pool delves into the heart of a grisly murder that took place in the Parkdale are of Toronto. With its dazzling turns and deafening silence, this narrative poem is a stark reappraisal of urban existence and its heartache. Pool's metaphysical landscape speaks in multiple voices and prods the very nature of our collective conscience. A selection of poems from this collection was awarded First Place in the 2009 Elora Writers' Festival Poetry Contest. {Guernica Editions}
