Deanna Fong’s Butcher’s Block reflects on one’s emotional connection to fixed locales. Using the age-old conflation of food and sex as a vehicle, this collection of poetry negotiates consumption with wry language and poetic deftness, remembering the trail of people left behind when one balances a domestic and nomadic way of life.
Each piece writhes with a subdued yet visible brand of intensity…. deft and beautiful…”
– Northern Poetry Review
Deanna Fong’s new poetry collection is a masterful melange for the senses… coy and quick …. [an] ambitious, creative and ultimately satisfying mix of literary flavours.”
– Ricepaper Magazine
