Midnight Stroll
$28.95
Keefer explores four physical and psychic terrains: Quebec City at the moment of the 2000 Free Trade Summit; the consumer carnival atmosphere of young Ukrainian immigrant women in contemporary Mississauga; a threatened vineyard and garden on Ontario’s Niagara escarpment; and World War II Amsterdam as seen through the eyes of Jewish writer Etty Hillesum.
The art that appears throughout the book is what inspired Keefer’s poetic engagements on our time’s political and pastoral, spiritually cramped and haunted historical “moment.”
Colour prints and a 3-page horizontal fold-out/printed both sides B&W images, plus 20 B&W photographs; by painter Natalka Husar, printer/line-drawing artist Claire Weissman Wilks, and photographer Goran Petkovski.

“Midnight Stroll, in its totality, is a stunning visual and verbal triptych that immerses readers in social, spiritual and political territories that are all too commonly kept separate. The poetry itself deserves much closer attention than can be given here.” —T.F. Rigelhof, The Globe and Mail
“A harvest of august vers libre, as brilliant as tears, as rich and authentic as blood.” —George Elliott Clarke, The Chronicle Herald, Halifax
“Drawn in an elegant and fine hand.” —Frances Itani, Ottawa Citizen
