A Companion to the Order of Canada, one of Canada's highest civilian arts, PK Page brings her excellent expertise to the table with "Coal and Roses". An exploration language using a the concept of Glosas, she discusses poetry by channeling sources of many other famous Canadian poets to execute her work, staying true to the original work while getting her message across with fine technique. "On a Far Shore": It is summer, early evening/stars beginning/no dog barking./The morning star/promises daylight,/and the moon is full./Yet darkness fights for itself./It has its methods,/is infinitely resourceful./The night unravels its blue wool.
