About this product
Product Information
These lurid and ambitious poems capture a contemporary sense of art and love that is both reticent and revelatory. Sound, rhythm, and formal experimentation coalesce into a powerful collection that combines the foreign forms of haiku, tanka, and ghazals with the rich, familiar imagery of the Maritimes and catholicity of allusion and cultural references.

Reviews
"An astonishingly assured and powerful debut... [Cook's]fierce, fine books gathers cosmo influences; [John] Thompson, but also Joseph Brodsky, Derek Walcott, and Rainer Maria Rilke, while his sonnets may also tender [Charles] Bruce. Even so, he is an original. [...] Considering photos of [poet John] Thompson, Cook turns in ghazals as good as those of the Welshman: 'I jabbed one into mine once: a (spruce) needle straight into the eye / like a sharp stick stabbed into the glassy candy-apple's core.' Each couplet possesses the tang and sting of expert imagism: 'Everything is up against the wall, is cold, / as if black and white were best for poetry.' [...] Cook's rhymes dazzle: 'Goldenrod bunches / braid the sun / and unhinge hunches / weighing down / the over-anxious.' [...] Postscript marks a remarkable debut."-- George Elliott Clarke, Halifax Chronicle-Herald "Bode[s] well for the new generation of Canadian poets... Show[s] that the poetry of place continues to be vital--place as seen through a sojourner's interval, rather than a visit's brevity or half a lifetime's familiarity. This is a poetry of dwelling, of staying in a place long enough to experience relationship, community, and self-change, but not long enough to stop feeling 'unsettled.'" -- Books in Canada "Cook's work is cosmopolitan without losing touch with Maritime settings." -- Montreal Review of Books
