David O'Meara finds defiance amid decay and oblivion, with guest appearances from Sid Vicious, Socrates, and Sophie Scholl.

Finalist for the 2014 Archibald Lampman Award for Outstanding Book of Poetry!


Like the rhapsodists, the storytellers of ancient Greece, A Pretty Sight shapes voices into a stitched song propelled toward the next century. Haunted by "time''s frame / that dark shape near the edge of the canvas," David O''Meara sifts culture, art, war, rebellion, and technology, offering defiance amid decay, while singing with the conflicting impulses of reflection and dissent.

David O''Meara has authored three poetry collections and a play. He''s been shortlisted for the Gerald Lampert Award, the ReLit Prize, the Trillium Book Award, a National Magazine Award, four Rideau Awards, and he won the Archibald Lampman Award twice. He lives in Ottawa, Ontario.
