The weight of history lies on the spine of memory. That heft and
delicate balance are palpable in these rich poems that echo with grief,
longing, and observed beauty. From the silence and complexity of the
northern wilderness to the vast prairie landscapes stretching across the
province, Through Disassembled Houses of Perfect Stones explores self,
ancestry, and community through poems which dwell on the page with a
satisfying density of imagery. Combining careful observation with
sensitive reflection, this work examines the poet's memory and
experience as a father, son, husband, and descendent of European
settlers married into an Indigenous family living in Northern Manitoba.
