Based on historical research the author conducted in Belfast (where the ship was constructed) and his birthplace of Halifax (near where it sank), the poems document not only the history behind the ship's construction, but what life must have been like for those aboard her maiden voyage and in the years following her sinking. While many readers are familiar with the various myths surrounding the ship and its sinking, this book offers a new, startlingly sensitive perspective with poems that take readers inside the hearts and minds of its passengers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eBilleh Nickerson \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of \u003ci\u003eMcPoems \u003c\/i\u003eand the co-editor of \u003ci\u003eSeminal: The Anthology of Canada's Gay Male Poets\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBilleh Nickerson is the author of two poetry collections, both published by Arsenal: \u003ci\u003eMcPoems\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Asthmatic Glassblower, \u003c\/i\u003e nominated for the Publishing Triangle Poetry Prize.
