    About this ebook

    "In a Belgian Garden, and Other Poems" by Frank Oliver Call
    Frank Oliver Call was a Canadian poet and academic. Born in West Brome, Quebec, Call was educated at Bishop's University, in Paris and Marburg, and at McGill University where he honed his skills in linguistics. From the titular poem to The Lace-Maker of Bruges, this collection of poems was largely written during and after the author's travels around the world. He touches on new places, the comforts of home, and the complex emotions of being human.
