White Linen Remembered

Marya Fiamengo is one of Canada’s truly fine poets. For nearly four decades, she has been publishing poetry of unusual distinctiveness. Intelligent, richly evocative, formidable in its clarity, lyrical and yet austere, the voice in Fiamengo’s poems is like no other in Canadian poetry.

“In Fiamengo’s poetry religious and feminist attitudes have become fully integrated…”
— Fran Davis, Matrix

“When such a gifted poet reaches an advanced age and turns her vision directly on what it means to be human and facing the inevitables of loss, we would be wise to listen.”
— Tim Bowling, Quill & Quire
