Airstream Land Yacht, Ken Babstock's third poetry collection, explores the beauty and the pain of everyday life. Normally mundane objects like shopping carts and fences illuminate the text and inform the reader through playful yet harrowing poems.

Airstream Land Yacht won Ontario's Trillium Award and was a finalist for the Griffin Poetry Prize in 2007.

From the book

Theory of Mind

Milk of input. Milk of matter.
Honeyed epoché.
Honey of all
that seems to me to be—

But when our billy bee's half empty,
we can see straight through his head!

From Airstream Land Yacht by Ken Babstock @2006. Published by House of Anansi Press.
