In But in the Stillness, Norwegian poet Dag T. Straumsvåg offers a series of poems written in the days surrounding the death of renowned Canadian minimalist poet Nelson Ball. These are poems of friendship, written by a peer, with remarkable sensitivity to Ball’s work: “No trace of absence     in this miniature moment     no half-heartedness”.
