In Cannon Cave by Carole Glasser Langille

Like their namesake, the poems of In Cannon Cave are acoustic chambers, gourds in which experience resonates. Here is a voice singing to existence, longingly, caressingly, not to typify or capture it, but to give it dwell, the audible afterlife of language. These poems venture far beyond the comforts of romanticism to find a new compassion.

Praise for In Cannon Cave:

“Carole Glasser Langille does an extraordinary job of connecting the world outside her to the world inside her.” — Robert Coles

“Here is a book of adult pleasures, ocean and sunlight: the fond ache of children: eros regained. And beneath it all a stillness that is palpable, articulate. In her second book, Carole Glasser Langille speaks the `language of praise in the dark.’ We are all the richer for it.” — Dennis Lee

“Glasser Langille’s is an engaging voice, contemplative, self-searching, yet always attentive to the wider world, and often transcendent of it. The solace of friendship and family, and the constant turmoil of the sea, echo through these finely crafted poems.” — Jury Citation, 1997 Governor General’s Literary Award for Poetry
