Book Synopsis
Poems that give voice and agency to marginal figures in rural places and cityscapes.

Trade Review
"'Intensify' is the Rilkean injunction that Harold Hoefle both declares and practises in this propulsive first collection of poems. I admire equally the energy of his lines and the range of his sympathies." Steven Heighton, 2016 Governor General's Poetry Award winner for The Waking Comes Late
"The Night Chorus sings of a private world that spans from Lac La Pêche to the British Museum, from a rural ditch to the city bus. These poems access memories, intimate conversations, and seemingly ordinary moments that Harold Hoefle discerns with the bright precision of a jeweller. To read The Night Chorus is to drive along a road that, in Hoefle's words, "climbs, dips, arcs, cup[s] the world in a curve." Where you stop to rest is often where you will want to linger for a while longer." Gillian Sze, author of Panicle
