After All the Scissor Work Is Done by David Fraser These poems play with memory, find out what's left on the cutting-room floor.

David Fraser steers away from linear narrative, edits out connections, allows the reader room.

But these are not pretty pieces: the poems scrape at the dark of human experience. "The sepia of nostalgia creeps like a mist over these poems, yet the sharpness of his memories, imagined or otherwise, keeps the reader from lulling into complacency by asking that we confront, time and time again, our own human frailties and our own mortality. A brave book." (Naomi Beth Wakan, Inaugural Poet Laureate of Nanaimo, B.C.)
