Happy holidays! CBC Books asked authors to share their favourite Canadian books of 2017. We will be publishing these recommendations throughout December. 

Michelle Winters chose Pockets by Stuart Ross.

"Stuart Ross' prose poetry novel, Pockets. The power of each one of those tiny little chapters just sneaks up and knocks the wind out of you. I've never read anything like it."

Michelle Winters is an author based in Toronto. Her novel I Am a Truck was shortlisted for the 2017 Scotiabank Giller Prize.
