The Word for Sand

By Heather Spears

Winner of the Governor General's Award for Poetry

Winner of the Pat Lowther Award

The poems are informed by the author's long sojourns in both Canada and Europe, and a new horizon appears: the author gets acquainted with a group of refugees from the Near East and in some of the poems describes their predicament and her own identification with these homeless people, who begin to define a new country of the mind.
