This is Gordon Gilhuly´s second book of poetry, the previous one, Not Having Constructed My Ark, was also published by Borealis Press. Gordon has also received recognition for his short stories and a one-act play (currently under renovations in order to become a full-length play). Along with writing, he fills his time with parenting, giving reflexology and therapeutic touch treatments, working as a film background performer and volunteering in prisons as a facilitator in the Alternatives to Violence Program. He occasionally takes time to breathe.
