"Lemay’s essays will appeal to those who wish to look at the world the way a still-life artist does: delicately and from oblique angles…. The cool temperature in her voice remains curious about everything from cone seashells to teacups and bowls… Despite jostling between objects and emotions, Lemay rarely succumbs to sentimental reverie without purpose; nor does she attempt to make bric-a-brac shimmer with empty words. In a kind of Roethkean or Keatsian sense, Calm Things describes the imaginative power commonplace objects hold."
(Richard Cole, The Malahat Review)
To receive a signed POSTCARD all you need to do is write me a quick email with the subject line: postcard, and your mailing address in the body of the email and I'll send one your way. shawnalemay@me.com
The postcard is absolutely free - no purchase necessary. It makes a nice bookmark for the paperback version and is a lot easier to sign than an e-book.
