Aqueduct, a co-publication of The Mercury Press, Underwhich Editions, and Wolsak and Wynn, is the result of more than ten years of concentrated work by master poet Gerry Shikatani, a unified, delicate, resonant, metallic and swirling work about Paris, Canada, language, and perception.

To those who are willing to join him in listening hard and looking closely, he has much to communicate about the way language can reveal the world."— Poetry Canada Review
