description: *Shortlisted for the 2000 Saskatchewan Book Award for PoetryControlled Burn is about the inner life buried beneath an immense stark sky. It articulates the footprint in the snow, the rasped voice betrayed by dreams, the hushed realm of the dying and the startled hope of the newborn. It is charged with rhythmic energy. It is a wordscape of the land and the people who live there.
