"O" (Ophelia) spends the summer in small-town Ontario, helping her aunt Emily at The Green Man, a struggling second-hand bookshop. Since childhood, Emily has been troubled by dreams of a menacing magic show; now, O glimpses great poets of the past roaming the shop. This imaginative, gracefully written explication of Rimbaud's belief that one must be mad to be a poet makes an entertaining tale.
