Book excerpt: Winner of the 1983 Pat Lowther Award Hartog's first collection of poetry is a marvellous, luminous book from a writer with a sure wit, an abundance of feeling and a profound sense of the absurdity and rightness of life. Hartog's perceptions of human nature are astute, intelligent and delightfully sympathetic to the human condition.' -- Kinesis 'The world of these poems is one of flickering but very sharp images, much like the moving pictures of her California childhood... the afternoons of matinee light.' -- Sharon Thesen, Line 'A beautifully constructed, disciplined first collection, filled with ironic wit, sensual vitality and subtlety.' -- Malahat Review
