ABANDONED BY THE MUSE is the second bundle of poetry by Bieke Stengos. Its poems draw their imagery from her emerging identification with the landscape between Guelph and Kitchener in Ontario, Canada. Bieke's writing attempts to internalize the landscape in order to make it home. Anyone who has had to leave a home and rediscover another elsewhere will recognize their experience in her verses, as she writes through loss and exile into the hope of homecoming.
