Publisher's Synopsis
In this collection of poems, Robin Skelton walks the edge, looking forwards and backwards. Meditating on roads taken and not taken, he employs his poetic gift to consider our relation to time: how we are immersed in it, and yet able to step through to other dimensions. One of Canada's finest translators, Skelton also includes a series of translations of such international modernist masters as Rilke, Baudelaire, and Yuli Daniel. The Edge of Time was short-listed for the BC Book Prize.
