About this product
Product Information
Second Place Winner of the 2023 RCLAS Fred Cogswell Award For Excellence In Poetry From the author of The Junta of Happenstance, here is a brilliant new collection of poems--a burning chronicle of passage and stillness and restlessness. DOROTHY LIVESAY POETRY PRIZE, FINALIST FRED COGSWELL AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE IN POETRY, LONGLIST Each One a Furnace explores (im)migration, diasporas, transience, and instability by following the behaviour, and abundant variety, of finches. The often-migratory birds in these poems typify the unrest, and inability to rest, that animate the lives of billions in the modern world. Out of the register of ornithology, themes of difficulty, adversity, and migrancy, urban ennui, and the psychic struggles of diasporic peoples take shape as those unable to be at rest in the world take to improbable flight. Trailing the global mobility of birds, in urban and non-urban settings, in historical and contemporary contexts, and through the metaphysical and concrete, Each One a Furnace is a chronicle of struggle within, and between, cultures.

Second Place Winner of the 2023 RCLAS Fred Cogswell Award For Excellence In Poetry "The compendium of post-apocalyptic finches we meet in Tolu Oloruntoba's Each One a Furnace seem to reach back to us from a not-so-distant future, to narrate the evolutionary burnout of most of the bird family Fringillidae . Imagine if a poem could be the collective knowledge of a species in the moment of its extinction, a translation of the painfully beautiful finale of all birdsong. 'What lessons did you learn / about the transactional conviviality / of captive flocks?' Oloruntoba's finches, buntings, siskins, grosbeaks are all somewhere between mid-dying flight and already gone, singing like canaries in the coal mine of global capital, flaming out like comets of feather and consciousness and history." --Sonnet L'Abbé, author of Sonnet's Shakespeare "These are poems of deep thought, passionate engagement and often searing images." -- Toronto Star " Each One a Furnace is an expansive, powerful collection, animated by a combination of analytical keenness, rage, and vulnerability." -- Winnipeg Free Press Praise for Tolu Oloruntoba: "Oloruntoba draws on a wide frame of references, from Norse mythology to modern gaming and the work of contemporary artist Wangechi Mutu, creating a thoroughly modern and unique ecopoetics." --Poetry Foundation, Praise for Tolu Oloruntoba and Each One a Furnace "The compendium of post-apocalyptic finches we meet in Tolu Oloruntoba's Each One a Furnace seem to reach back to us from a not-so-distant future, to narrate the evolutionary burnout of most of the bird family Fringillidae . Imagine if a poem could be the collective knowledge of a species in the moment of its extinction, a translation of the painfully beautiful finale of all birdsong.

Oloruntoba's finches, buntings, siskins, grosbeaks are all somewhere between mid-dying flight and already gone, singing like canaries in the coal mine of global capital, flaming out like comets of feather and consciousness and history." -Sonnet L'Abbé, author of Sonnet's Shakespeare
