"Bren Simmers's 'Pivot Point' is a lyrical account of a nine-day wilderness canoe trip through the Bowron Lakes canoe circuit in British Columbia. At the heart of the expedition are three young women, friends whose lives seem at risk of drifting apart as they approach middle age. While buoyed by the pleasures of adventure and camaraderie, and by a deep reverence for nature, Simmers finds herself struggling to inhabit the trip's trickier elements - storms, insects, physical fatigue, conflict, doubt, and disorientation - and, as with the challenges and changes in her own life, to embrace them with confidence. Recounted in a journal-entry style with poems interleaving each day's narrative, 'Pivot Point' is a frank reflection on the roles friendship, mindfulness, and creativity play in the evolution of our lives."--taken from dustcover jacket flap Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall.
