Table Manners: Selected & New Poems 2004 - 2018

By Marty Gervais

Table Manners follows Mosaic Press's To Be Now: New and Selected, published in 2003. In this new volume, Windsor's first poet laureate, Marty Gervais, turns his attention to the border stories of southwestern Ontario. The winner of the prestigious Harbourfront Prize and the Queen's Jubilee Medal, Gervais writes about the flat open farm country outside of Windsor, but also about living and working in the shadow of Detroit. The table becomes the metaphor for all that takes place in a lifetime: the place of conversation, of creativity, work, sustenance, and of deal-making and relationships.
