"Through eclectic verse, this collection raises images of the wanderings of marvelous animals and the sometimes-questionable activities of human beings....Casey and Cannizzo render ancient times and present moments in their Bog Treasure, taking the reader on a thoughtful journey into and out of the bog."—The British Columbia Review
In Bog Treasure, poet and prose writer Eileen Casey collaborated with visual artist and poet Jeanne Cannizzo to produce a stunning collection. Drawn from an art exhibition in 2021 that featured drawings and sculptures by Cannizzo, and poetry by Casey, together with a short film, Bog Treasure showcases Casey’s poems and Cannizzo’s work, exploring cross-cultural encounters, the complexities of the relationship of the past and the present, and the intersection of art and anthropology.
