Londoning
Londoning is a collection of micro-stories and poetry that explores the North: Canada, Poland, and the shadow country in between, where memory, myth, and imagination meet. It ranges across Ontario and Lake Huron, but also through the lives of those who inhabit them, and the mythic creatures that wait at the edge of consciousness: mermaids, werewolves, and the Wendigo.
