Beskrivelse
What is a neighbourhood? What holds it together? What tears it apart? Each has its own geography, relying on such social networks as schools, parks, libraries, community centres, and places of worship and commerce. Each is made up of neighbours: the families in the house across the lane or those over the road, open to view or behind a hedge. Neighbours is a book that affirms; we are all neighbours, wherever we live. Following YVR, with its exploration of Vancouver, W. H. New gives shape and sound to the neighbourhood in a voice that is gentle, witty, apprehensive, and tender. These poems dare to bridge the vast space between the familiar and the mysterious, the eloquent and the colloquial.
