The Magi Come to Toronto - E.G.N. Lafleur
Thy holy cities are a wilderness... From honesty about the vagaries of the body's desires to the cults of medieval saints to the streetcars and the Don river, Lafleur's poems probe what it means to be a queer person of faith formed by Toronto - the eternal city's - splendour and cruelty. In erotic, religious, and historical poems, Lafleur draws us back to the closeness of past and present, the compulsion of vocation, and the vast grace of the liturgical year.
