Good-bye to the Sugar Refinery cover

Wheatley reflects on her experience with the Canadian Women's Army Corps — exploring her own coming-of-age and offering an historical testament to the Canadian women who joined the Corps in World War II. Rich with sentiment, Wheatley's poems are never sentimental, but enlivened by honesty and wit.

"She is capable of touching the human heart with a simple, casual image." -- Allan Brown * Quarry *
"A mature voice, wise with experience . . . An important first book by a talented new voice who most surely will not remain in the shadows." -- Karen Rulan * Poetry Canada Review *
