This book serves as a collection of creative poems that explore themes of perception, the uncanny, and the complexities of coincidence as described by the author, with thematic inspiration drawn from Freud's discourse on the unheimlich. The publication received support from the Canada Council for the Arts and the Ontario Arts Council, establishing it as a significant contribution to contemporary Canadian literature. Through its nuanced verses, the work challenges readers to engage with the intersection of the familiar and the unfamiliar, while explicitly positioning itself as fiction to detach from real-world references. This edition remains a notable entry in the author's body of work, offering a sophisticated look at modern life, projection, and the psychological resonances found within the act of reading and interpretation, capturing a specific moment in the mid-2000s literary landscape.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/literature/","Literature",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/portable-altamont-brian-joseph-davis/418326/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/portable-altamont-brian-joseph-davis/418326.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"nayy☆","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-30","2026-09-28",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":55},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",8,{"@type":57,"mainEntity":58},"FAQPage",[59,65,69],{"name":60,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":62},"Who
