The Ignis Psalter

The Ignis Psalter is a beautifully written novel that explores coming of age in a rural area of New Brunswick haunted by a prolific, almost artistic arsonist, who may just be one of the family. Danny Jacobs draws from a facility with words that has already won him awards as both a poet and an essayis, to fashion a novel that is moody and imagistic, drawing the reader into a world of small town characters illuminated in fire.
