Book excerpt: Governor General s Literary Award finalist and bestselling author Steven Heighton returns with a collection of laments and celebrations that reflect on our struggle to believe in the future of a world that continues to disappoint us.

These are poems that trouble over the idea of failure even as they continually recommit to the present moment. This is fierce music performed in a minor key."
