Notes: As noted in what I wrote about The Footling, this work was intended to be the first book of my poetry published by Childe Thursday until the premature birth of my premature son. The Well-Versed Heart was a set of poems written in Toronto in the 1980s, about my family, my life in dance clubs, work as a taxi driver etc, but is primarily focused on a series of romantic relationships that led to my engagement in 1987. One long section known as The Court Of Miracles, involves a dancer in David Earle's Toronto Dance Theatre Production The Court of Miracles, which is itself a borrowing from medieval miracle plays.
