Margins are ignored in this fine collection of fiction by 15 Canadian lesbians. Three of its authors have won Canada's highest literary honor, and readers will recognize authors such as Ann-Marie MacDonald (Fall on Your Knees, an Oprah pick) and Shani Mootoo (Cereus Blooms at Night). Themes of discovery and lost boundaries (sexual and otherwise) run through the anthology, and though the stories vary in quality, a sense of energy and newness pervades them. Standouts include Dionne Brand's contribution, an excerpt from In Another Place, Not Here that crackles with Caribbean authenticity; Nicole Brossard's treatise-like "State of Mind in the Garden"; and Karen X. Tulchinsky's "Ruined by Love," a road story set on the west coast.
