It maps, probes and applauds the riparian region of central Canadian geography that lies between the Ottawa and the St. Lawrence Rivers. The poems portray this territory, its contested human presences and natural history: the 1990 Oka Crisis, Pleistocene shifts and dislocations, the feather-shaped Ile Cadieux, a Trappist monastery on the lake's northern shore. As we are drawn into experience of the lake and its environs, we also enter an intricate interleaving of landscape and memory, a reflection on how a place comes to inhabit us even as we inhabit it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"flint-dark far-off \u003cbr\u003esky on the move across the lake\u003cbr\u003eslant sheets closing in\u003cbr\u003esky collapsing from its bowl\u003cbr\u003eshoreline waiting taut\u003cbr\u003estones dark as plums\"\u003cbr\u003e--from \"Distance Closing In\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arleen Paré\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brick Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.4lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 6.00w x 0.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781926829876\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Governor General's Literary Awards - Winner","brand":"Brick Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48348299231369,"sku":"9781926829876","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_786757b5-0f7b-455e-bf4c-211bf326fe35.jpg?v=1789456343","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/lake-of-two-mountains-9781926829876","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
