"""Cain revels in a play of sound and meaning, bouncing his narrative as a pinball across the field of language.""--rob mclennan's blog ""Equal parts logophilic love song and searing post-punk lament, Stephen Cain's Walking and Stealing is a Molotov cocktail for the city dweller's soul. With playful constraints and sprawling seriality, Cain takes us on psychogeographic drifts and d�rives, sends us spinning through allusive urban thickets, and leads us on unapologetic intertextual joyrides through a city and a world on fire. This sauntering tome is whip-smart and shady AF--a semiotic feast at every turn."" --Kate Siklosi, author of Selvage ""Since the late '90s, Stephen Cain has stayed in the game to drive the line with work marked by his commitment to the local, intertextual, and communal. Walking and Stealing sees Cain at his most raucous. These poems are fully loaded--they crack, cut, dive, and play double. With a poetics steeped in devotion to the unorthodox, Cain proves himself again to be one of Canada's foremost avant-gardists who continues to expand the field."" --Eric Schmaltz, author of Surfaces and Borderblur Poetics"
