“The light enters us, dissolves us.
We are the golden motes in the jewel.”

Page, PK. “Unless the Eye Catch Fire.” In A Kind of Fiction, 1979.


On October 24th, 2018, in Belliveau Cove, Nova Scotia, an eagle fell from the sky into the back of a man’s pickup truck. Within a week, the man, his dog, and the eagle all died. Returning to the sites of the events, the deaths are diffracted through the memories of the man’s sister, over the well in the basement of their family home, and between the pine-slatted walls of the eagle rehabilitation centre.
