The Dying Poem

Book in excellent condition; cover shows shelf wear. All detail inquiries welcome.

"On the afternoon that two tonnes of explosives are set to dismember Toronto's Metropolitan Library, poet Henry Black hides himself away in his favourite wing; when his mangled body is uncovered, there's a book lodged in his chest. The Dying Poem will take you through stories within stories in search of the mystery behind Henry's death. And, in the end, the crossing of paths and the difficulty of speaking about the dead tell us something aboutthe making of art and what art makes of us."
