Ex-ville

Rhona McAdam’s sixth collection of poems, Ex-ville, reflects upon what we leave behind: the people, places and journeys that shape our lives. We peer through many doorways in this suburb of the imagination. The poet’s move back to Canada from her home in England unfolds in a bittersweet series of poems that probe the meaning of departure and arrival. There is sadness and wisdom in these poems, as well as joy, love and passion. Ex-ville is a book to welcome and celebrate, and then return to, often.

“Whether it is on a bus, in a tired airport or a European city we’ve longed to see, Rhona McAdam makes us feel a little less like a stranger in a strange land.” – London Grip
