“Here is the range of Mark Gordon’s distinctive, lyrical voice—poems of pain, love, and deliverance; poems charged with the caribou moon and stretched into lovely reflective verse; poems exploring the vein of living, honest and tender, on a subject that hits home with each of us.” —Andrew Lafleche, editor of Gravitas Poetry.
“For decades Mark Gordon has written remarkable fiction and poetry. His poems have appeared in literary journals across Canada and the United States, and finally, readers have the pleasure of A Café Called Orange. Throughout this book, the quiet beauty of the human experience is on full display. It is a joy in which all readers of poetry can share.” —Acclaimed Canadian poet, James Deahl
