Daphne Marlatt

Winter/Rice/Tea Strain

"This beautifully tactile letterpress production is a fitting presentation of Daphne Marlatt's moving elegy for Roy Kiyooka. If these lithe and melodious poems didn't so ardently link equal and opposite responses to experience (hold on, let go), if they weren't so dense with sensation, I'd call them cirrous. Daphne Marlatt's trust of her reader, inspires a return of generosity and astonishment. That writer and reader make (and unmake) together."Winter/ Rice/ Tea Strain" is a printer's brilliant solution."

– Stan Dragland
