SLOW ASCENT, Poetry by Robert Hilles, is his sixteenth book of poetry. This Governor General Award winning poet honours his dead mother and celebrates the love she instilled in him.
These gripping, urgent poems may challenge readers but remain assessable as they resonate deeper meanings. They are above all poems of love that convey it with a startling, lasting clarity and powerfully link emotions with ideas.
