Night Physics is an entirely new collection by one of Canada's most respected poets. M. Travis Lane shows with deft elegance how apparently ordinary moments or scenes are the locus of great significance, both for our individual lives and in a wider sense.

This is a poetry of intense emotion, etched with intelligence.
