<p><strong>The sixth and, on the surface, most innovative poetry collection from Scotiabank Giller Prize finalist Michael Crummey.</strong><br>

<br>

Eclectic, unpredictable, and strange, <em>Passengers</em> follows Swedish poet Tomas Tranströmer on an imagined circumnavigation of Newfoundland; traces the island escapades of Lucifer from the time of his arrival as a stowaway in the Middle Ages; and wanders the pre-pandemic cities of Europe, touching down in Stockholm’s ABBA museum, the Belfast Public Library, Austria’s plague cemeteries, and the Czech Republic’s Punkva Caves.</p>

<p>Widely considered “one of Canada's finest writers” (<em>Globe and Mail</em>), Crummey is noted for the immediacy and emotional impact of his poetry and fiction and for his ability to raise the vernacular to planes of “exquisite beauty.”<br>

</p>

<p>Part travelogue, part archeological dig, <em>Passengers</em> is an eccentric guide to the wild geography, folklore, and misbegotten history of the human heart.</p>
