3.5 stars. These poems reminded me of the poetry of Charles Bruce, dealing as they do with place and time and the Nova Scotia coast. Here is a sample:

The peace of this inner beach
and a pond filled with a ballet of rockweed
is a short reprieve
from the pace of measured life.
I collect this speck of time
like a dark, polished grain of sand
and stash it in my head
to see how long it takes
to leak back out
and leave me anchored again
on a stoney beach
of another tense tomorrow.
