Sandgames (Salmon Poetry)
by Michèle Vassal
Category: Poetry

Sandgames was the winning collection in the Listowel Writers' Week Poetry Prize 1999. It is Mich'le Vassal's first collection in which she explores the duality of exile through the fading negatives of memory, exposing them to a light of sexual and religious metaphor. With an artist's sense of contrast and perspective, she chronicles a sensual and cruel reality where displacement and belonging coalesce into an intricate but singular vision.
