Killdeer by Phil Hall
Phil Hall's collection is heady, pretentious, and playful. I enjoyed the way he weaved in Canadian literary history with brief dashes of confession that kept an emotional course for what could've been quite a hollow series of theoretical discourse.

Killdeer: essay-poems by Phil Hall
I understand now why Phil Hall refers to these as essay poems: part memoir, part musings, part poems, with commentary on poetics threaded throughout. Killdeer stretches. A fascinating read, and deserving of its Governor General's Award. Recommended!
