Eyelands Book Awards Finalist

Dust Blown Side of the Journey (McGill-Queen’s University Press) was a finalist in the international Eyelands Book Awards (Greece) in the published book category.

“Dust Blown Side of the Journey is a book of intimate, atmospheric poetry bursting with powerful imagery. Eleonore Schönmaier’s perspective brings everything so close that it feels as if we are seeing through the poet’s eyes. In Schönmaier’s minimal and meaningful poetry, intense emotion is lurking under the transparent surface of seemingly simple, everyday images. Dust blown side of the journey is a book that leaves its distinctly gentle yet deep mark on the reader’s mind.
