From his vantage point at Nighthawk Ranch overlooking its infinitely fecund mother, the Thompson River, Ehor Boyanowsky embraces the people, plants and wildlife she nurtures to create a literary universe of experience both thrilling in discovery and dangerous, even deadly, if encountered haphazardly. The poems produced range from formal verse to experiments with emerging technology to weave a legacy of life and myth in the only true desert in Canada.
