Imagine that your birth mother gave you away to her own mother and then maintained a strict distance from you. How would you feel? Amber, 24, is trying to salvage a sense of who she is from personal remnants she has collected from those who form a part of her life. Set in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, the novel begins in the now, with Amber pulling from her closet her box of treasures, those bits that constitute her life thus far.

Poetry. Bill Morgan's debut poetry collection, THE ART OF SALVAGE, finds value--sometimes even treasure and joy--in unpromising materials. Exploring themes including sexuality and the aging body, the beautiful and jarring intricacies to be found in unlikely corners of the natural world (especially the poet's Central Illinois home), and the vein of gold running amid the quotidian, Morgan attempts to salvage poems from the detritus of the day. But this gold is not easily reclaimed. Salvage demands the poet's trained eye to earn wisdom from loss or recoup delight from a moment's mindfulness. Morgan's poems insist on an honest reckoning and prove what we salvage is never simple or automatic: it is a tireless endeavor of body, mind, and spirit leading to hard- won rewards. This book of poems, born of a sensibility at once keenly precise and easeful, is breathtaking. And breath- making: Bill Morgan knows how to watch intently, how to burrow in and bear down, but he also knows how to listen, how to hold, how to care--for lover, creature, flower, and finally, for self. These poems are huge of heart. Love- swollen. Generous of mind and eye. They don't merely bear witness, share, or innovate; they teach. They teach us how to live. Deeply sensual, THE ART OF SALVAGE models, in line after masterful line, the kind of communion--with other beings, with the natural world, with memory--that makes life truly meaningful. THE ART OF SALVAGE--of rescue, of reclamation--is above all else an art of healing: intimacy at its truest. This is a profoundly courageous, vulnerable, and necessary book.--Kirstin Hotelling Zona, editor, SRPR (Spoon River Poetry Review) In his author note, Bill Morgan says that '[a]t night..., he hunches over a keyboard and tries to salvage poems from the detritus of the day.' Well, he's salvaged a book, refurbishing a pocket watch, restoring the prairie, and bringing his father back to life, all with the quiet, natural perfection of a damaged starfish growing a new limb. These are poems with gravitas and levitas, heavy with knowledge and pain yet willing and able to fly up, singing, an exaltation of skylarks. THE ART OF SALVAGE is a book full of 'intimate gravity, ' and a tough one--as he says of his lady love, 'the genuine article.'--Kathleen Kirk, poetry editor, Escape Into Life 'Where are the songs of Spring? Ay, where are they? / Think not of them, thou hast thy music too, --' If in 'To Autumn' Keats did his part to convey some of that deep, otherworldly and humane music, then in THE ART OF SALVAGE Bill Morgan does his, as well. Morgan presents us with his own landscape of loss, arrived at through the vicissitudes of aging, but he, too, explores feelingly his circumstances, and so locates surprising, vital images and makes powerful, elegiac and celebratory, music. Bend close, reader, and, darkling, listen.--Michael Theune, author of Structure & Surprise: Engaging Poetic Turns From now on, when I'm asked what I want for my birthday, I'm going to say I want Bill Morgan's gifts. I want his ability to root the mystical in the mundane, to find just the right image, the telling detail to carry the metaphor. I want his vision, his ability to see the universal in the personal and to make us all see it and feel it. I want those skills and if I can't have them, at least I can read them again and again. And I will.--Michael Cain, editor, Seventh Dream Press Bill Morgan's poems accompany us on a journey through the rich and mysterious territory of the aging process. These poems address wisdom and tenderness, a path that those of us fortunate to live a long life will all one day have to walk. This is poetry that enlightens, that deepens our awareness of what it means to be human, and most of all, nourishes the soul.--Judith Valente, correspondent, PBS-TV and WGLT Radio

Excerpt from The Wonders of Salvage That point of light which meant SO much to him was the beam of a lighthouse, one of the many en circling our coast. All round our Shores they keep sentinel night after night, through summer calm and winter blizzard, waking to life as daylight fades and dying as dawn steals over the seas. These lights, which the city dweller on a brief visit to the sea watches with such interest, are the friends of all who go down to the sea in ships. Our coasts are profoundly treacherous. Rocks, shoals and quicksands abound everywhere, and are mostly marked with lighthouses, lightships and buoys which in the aggregate have cost millions of pounds. No expense has been spared to indicate these hidden dangers and make our seas safe for Shipping. Yet, in spite of all that human foresight can suggest, wrecks still occur. Gales spring up and take their toll fogs steal on and drive Ships blindly to their doom machinery breaks down and allows the seas to hurl the helpless craft upon the cruel rocks.

Aidan Jones was my brother. But I couldn't really remember his face. I couldn't remember talking to him or playing with him. He was just a gap, an absence, a missing person. Before she was adopted by a loving family and raised in a leafy Home Counties town, Cass Montgomery was Cass Jones. Her memories of her birth family disappeared with her name. But when her adopted family starts to break down, a way out comes in the form of a message from her lost brother, Aidan. Having Aidan back in her life is both everything she needs and nothing she expected. Who is this boy who calls himself her brother? And why is he so haunted? I glance at the paper. There's a big picture on the front page. A girl with dark red hair. A girl with eyes that might have been green or they might have been grey. I sit down and stare at Cass, and it is her, it is. My stolen sister. Aidan's a survivor. He's survived an abusive stepfather and an uncaring mother. He's survived crowded foster homes and empty bedsits.He's survived to find Cass. If only he can make her understand what it means to be part of his family. . .
