"This is the third installment in an expanding project, begun in 2004, based on what the experimental poet calls 'indexical readings' of her daily notebooks. Drawn from a combination of old and new sample of the latter, two new sections, 'The Hut' and 'The Tiny Notebooks of Night,' showcase the Baudelaire Fractal author's trademark lyric inscrutability." - Emily Donaldson, The Globe & Mail "Boat plays with memory and nostalgia; trawling through Robertson's journals, the collection's patchwork recreates the disjunctive ambiguity of one life-history." - Cecily Fasham, Oxford Review of Books "Lisa Robertson's Boat works against the certainties much poetry strives to achieve." - Dan Beachy-Quick, Poetry Foundation "For Robertson, drifting is both a practice and a style." - Andrea Brady, London Review of Books, "This is the third installment in an expanding project, begun in 2004, based on what the experimental poet calls 'indexical readings' of her daily notebooks.
