This series of poems is a response to the 2012 mass shooting at a block party on Danzig Street, Scarborough (Toronto). The city's east end becomes a source of poetic inspiration, and the intersecting subway lines provide the organizing structure. From west to east, and north to south?Kipling to McCowan, Finch to Downsview'the stations on the way inspiring form, voice, and content, meditation, commentary, and geometry. The City is the Poem. The Discovery Walk, inviting my well-worked Clarks to pry my feet from the confines of the station, wasn't necessary to make a most marvelous Discovery: the bus sign, hung with steel from ?Old Mill?
