Book Description

From the former Poet Laureate of Ottawa, his ninth collection of poetry

Hemispere of Love reflrects the author's passion and honesty as he delves into the mystery of love and strives to bring order to human experience. In this collection a range of scenes and sitations is carefully carved in words and couched in meaphor. Geographical and spiritual boundaries, shifting tonalities, and moods carry the reader into Dabydeen's complex universe. Janus-faces, he continually looks forward and backward.
