A special thank-you to Karl Siegler for once again invaluable editorial advice; to Kevin Williams, Ann-Marie Metten, and the wonderful team at Talon; and to Anna Farrant for input on “Things She Wouldn’t Want.”

Grateful thanks to the Canada Council for the Arts for financial support, and to the jurors who made that decision.
