Gulf - Reviewed by Michael Dennis

Leslie Vryenhoek's Gulf is her first book of poetry but it is not the work of a rookie. Vryenhoek's poems, fiction and memoir have won the Dalton Camp Award, two NL Arts & Letters Awards and the Winston Collins/Descant Prize for Best Canadian Poem in 2010.

The poems in this volume are very consistent in tone, they have a fierce intelligence and a twist of dark humour.
