About This Book
This collection by well-known Edmonton poet, E.D. Blodgett, is an ode to the wisdom and divinity of silence. The poet muses on the quiet of the outdoors and the mysterious relationship that exists between spaces of silence within a city's limits.Most of the short lyrics that make up this sublime collection were written first in English and French before being translated into Cree, Michif, Chinese, and Ukrainian to reflect Edmonton's multicultural past and present. Together they form a composite view of the people and culture that inhabit the city's natural spaces.

Information
nothing lay so clear
before those who stood
on these banks than the great
canopy of sky
that spread above them and
poured forth its endless light
and everything it seemed
stood eternal here
all that was laid bare
et tous qui ont suivi
sont entrés dans la lumiÚre
comme si câĂ©taient une mer
qui les engloutissait
une mer pleine
de grands oiseaux
qui les menaient
plus profondément
vers la source des Ă©toiles
or the golden light
of grain heading out
in summer calls them all
and gazing into it
they see summers spread
everywhere before
them flowing through the air
generations of
the sun standing in sheaves
while over all of them
the silent river and
the grass against their feet
a star unmoving stands
beyond anyoneâs grasp
this is the light that draws
them all into the dream
of what will be when they
no longer walk here
possibility
rises in the light
as if every dawn
turned departure toward
endless arrivals where
only the rising sun
holds time in its light
asleep upon our hands
but of the past of all
who stand here it is
somewhere other than now
intermittent in
the sky as if it were
the moon floating...
