Lucky days

"In his new book of poems, Marty Gervais writes about the ordinary and the commonplace, but how the small epiphanies in our lives make us look again at this world around us. He writes about sons who play hockey, black cats, the Cubans in all night diner in Miami, the rural landscape of southwestern Ontario, the cafes of Paris, traveling to Iraq, the streets of Detroit and the days and nights spend in a hospital ward." "These new poems are about luck, about people, about life as it is played out in the life of a poet, a journalist and someone who marvels at a world that sometimes is turned upside down."--Jacket.
