Irene Golas

Breccia Irene Golas

Published and unpublished poetry from the works of the two authors. Just as haiku encapsulates the essence of the moment, this collection of haiku and related forms preserves a series of such moments in the authors' lives. And, like life itself, these moments document deeply emotional journeys of dreams won and lost, subtle humor and personal struggle. Refusing to shy away from even the most difficult aspects of life, Golas and Fay present a collection of poetry that runs the gamut of emotions. Some of their poetry is influenced by the geographical and cultural impacts of living in the area known until recently as 'The Nickel Capital of the World.' The special section, "Sudbury Breccia," assembles a number of poems that express life in a northern Ontario mining town.
