About the book

"The Pear Orchard portrays the struggle of a woman to embrace her deafness. In this difficult passage the poet weaves a rich tapestry of imagery from history, visual art, lives of the saints and life on a prairie farm. Weber seamlessly draws on themes of suffering, childbirth, sexuality, rebirth, language and relationships with a poetic language that is charged with insight and spirituality. Perceptions are altered, new topographies are understood, and unheard stories are finally told through this unsettling, yet cathartic journey. This is an auspicious debut by a remarkable new voice in Canadian poetry. Book jacket."--BOOK JACKET.
