Louise Marois: Ring of Dust, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

A poem sequence that embraces the ruptures a lyrical turn makes possible.
In Ring of Dust, Quebec poet Louise Marois delights in poetic feints, temporal leaps, asides, tangents, sleights of hand, call-backs and echoes. This ambitious collection of sequences populates plural dialogues between then and now, family and entourage, lover and nature, mother and death, work-person and artist, fables and confidences, limits and new reaches, home and escape, city and field, queer life and a blood red world. It's a proposition that enters the mess of memory in hopes of reconciling, one disharmony at a time, the many voices who inhabit what keepsakes remain. This book is past and present at war with each other; it's also the future emerging from the page-by-page bout, all born anew in an exuberant translation by D. M. Bradford.
