Anne Michaels
"Full of grief and love, The Long Walk pushes us to have that courage to look at what's painful to see, to find stillness in movement, movement in stillness. If you need a motto for the new year, solvitur ambulandoit is solved by walking." - Amy Reiswig, Focus Magazine
"Zwicky accomplishes a concordance of rhythm, internal rhyme and subtly linked imagery (e.g. "continents," "shapes," "sea") that, in turn, enables the beloved to embody all the significance--all the strength and frailty, beauty and terror--of the world." - ARC Magazine
"Poems of exquisite lyric grace and deep feeling." - Toronto Star
"A wide-ranging collection that addresses environmental devastation and the ongoing refugee crisis alongside responses to Brahms and Simplikios... The Long Walk is a rewarding read that secures Oskana as an exciting new Prairie-based [series]." - Cassidy McFadzean, SaskBooks
