About the Book
With the publication of this collection of poems, Chelsea Coupal brings a new voice to the genre of Prairie writing. Young, educated and urbane, she grew up in the village of Sedley, Saskatchewan. In language that is direct, yet supple, Coupal gives takes the reader into the heart of contemporary rural Saskatchewan, through adolescent rites of passage to the question that confronts many young Canadians growing up on a farm in the 21st century: Should I go or should I stay?
