The Trailer

A poetry collection by James Scoles.

James Scoles

The Trailerexplores the subtle art of balancing life on the edge of a city--indeed, perched precariously, metaphorically on the fringe of society--not exactly following a script for keeping up with the Joneses. The experiences of love and loss while living on that (not exactly) sharp edge build the foundation in this collection. Stylistically, the poems vary as they dig through the detritus daily to reveal the joy, beauty, and humour within the world of thin tin-walled hope and melamine dreams of a mobile home, of a live lived lagging just a little behind. (From Signature Editions)

James Scoles won the 2013 CBC Poetry Prize for The Trailer, which is featured in this book.
