Description
The Coin focuses Caleb Parkin's poetics upon his matriarchal line, cancer in the family, class, place, and other themes with moments of lyrical intensity and clarity. This is a book that undertakes explorations of identity, mortality, the grand/mother/son relationship, and more. These are poems about life, death, and the nature of being in which humour, irony, and surprise are always at the edge of the page.
