Poems of moons that sail and elders spry; of critters that talk and bees that ask why; of lovelorn lovers and chess players wry; of brothers that laugh and daughters that cry; and that mystical maiden -- Lorelei. To top it off, we look to the sky, to galaxies and nuclei, and once more the vagaries of fate we defy; and all as seen through the poet's eye...

When American Jack Kearney hears Genevieve St. Andre singing in the streets of Quebec City, he is enthralled by her beauty and is determined to meet her. But Kearney is on a special mission to Quebec which must remain secret. And Genevieve has her own secrets, one of which is her connection to the revolutionary Front de Liberation du Quebec, the dreaded FLQ. Still, the music of her voice brings them together-and into danger. It is the summer of 1971, less than a year after the kidnapping and murder of Pierre Laporte, Quebec's Minister of Labor, and the kidnapping of James Cross, the British Trade Minister to Canada. Five hundred members of the FLQ have been rounded up by the Sureté and the Mounties by order of Pierre Elliot Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada. But the Quiet Revolution continues, and like a cauldron of hot lava, it is about to boil over.
