Fromoutnowhere

a book about winnipeg, the prairie, and big business


From Out of Nowhere

John Toone; $17.00 paper
978-0-88801-343-9, 102pp.,
5.5" x 8.5", Turnstone Press,
April 2009.

“From Out of Nowhere explores how cities have changed the landscape for prairie poetry. The poems find the intersections where nature speaks through cowboys, hunters, fishers, farmers, and businessmen. These voices are captured in cityscapes where they mutate, harmonize, and resonate to give new meaning to old turns of phrase, calls to action, and directions home.

In the end, From Out of Nowhere reveals that it is in our green spaces where we are reminded of our past, our present, and our uncertain future, and how we find ourselves, and our spirit, somewhere between city and country.”
