Author of "*The Terra Nova Quartet*" William Gough works in many forms - he's a novelist, film-writer and poet.
In "*Poet In a Pontiac*," he creates a novella that's also a Word-Movie/Mind-Flix - an inner film that un-spools in the mind. And as it does, we meet the cast of characters; the Poet himself, assorted angels, and defective singers gathered for The "*William F. Coaker High School*" reunion. This sleet-sucking night is as unnerving for students as it is for teachers. Trapped between worlds - this turns into the kind of reunion we can't escape.
Praise for William Gough's writing:
"Gough’s writing is...poignant, spare, with the strength and subtlety of a fine woodcut... - " E. Annie Proulx
A wise, compassionate storyteller" - Atom Egoyan
"The richness of language is in Gough's literary blood." - Globe & Mail
"The work explodes with emotion, intensity, creativity” - Drama-Logue
