about this book

Inspired by working at the Royal Ontario Museum, gifted poet Nina Berkhout spins a catastrophic yet enduring tale of love set amidst the chaos of assembling a blindingly white museum display on the Hindenburg Zepplin. Composed in poetic verse, This Way the Road masterfully weaves the tumultuous relationship of Helen and Jules with glistening fragments of Greek mythology and modern history.

A truly captivating collection, This Way the Road offers compelling insights into love, tragedy, and the kinetic world of museums—living organisms that house the history of human emotion.

This Way the Road is a new collection of poetry from Nina Berkhout, the best-selling author of Letters from Deadman’s Cay.
