A glance at what reviewers said:,
By A Customer
This review is from: The 52nd Poem (Paperback)
"The best book I've read all year. It is as beautiful a novel as the landscape he describes so elegantly."- Kim Brunhuber, CTV Ottawa "...he begins his novel with a poet's compressed precision, succeeding where other budding prose lyricists fail. Where some write with a fluid (or florid) lilt, and sentiments to match, Trofimuk offers a spare grace of expression and a narrative playfulness..." "...The 52nd Poem is a Can Lit classic, and should have a place on the shelves of your personal library...a gripping, powerful and moving book..." "...almost every word he records resonates with beauty, truth and tenderness..." "...a sensitive tale of love lost...Trofimuk has written a gracefully told story of the beginnings of love, and maybe its end."

Excellent Novel,
By Adam Snider - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The 52nd Poem (Paperback)
The _52nd Poem_ is an excellent novel. While it's not quite as good as Trofimuk's 2nd novel, _Doubting Yourself to the Bone_, it proves that Trofimuk is one of the best writers to come out of Edmonton, and possibly all of Canada, in quite a long time.He is one of the few authors who can write in the 2nd person without coming across as awkward or "silly." That alone is a feat worthy of respect. |
