Memory and myth shape the landscape of love in this collection of poems. Manicom’s pen picks out the startling detail, the sharp and exquisite image. The Older Graces is filled with regret for the cruelty of human experience, the pain of lost love. Writing in The Canadian Book Review Annual, William Blackburn said that David Manicom “reminds us of ‘the terrible fragility nearby,’ and demands and shares with us the courage to love the beauty that can only break our hearts.”
