Earle Street by Paré Alreen (Talonbooks, paperback)
Publication Date: May 19, 2020
Publisher Marketing: Earle Street is a lyrical poetry collection focussing on a specific street, Earle Street, and on a particular tree growing there. It takes the concept of street and urban living, the houses on the street, the neighbours, the boulevard trees and wildlife, and the street's history as a poetic focal point. The book is divided into four sections, each of which differently considers the poet's home street - as river, arboretum, window, and, finally, as a whole world.
