- W811016133 abstract "Sally Ito. Alert to Glory. Winnipeg: Turnstone Press, 2011.85 pp. $17.00 sc. The title of Sally Ito's book, Alert to Glory, wittily describes both state of consciousness her poems explore and purpose of collection as a whole. Ito's poems explore what it means to be alert in its adjectival sense--to be fully attentive.
