Produktinformationen "Breaker"
SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2009 PAT LOWTHER MEMORIAL AWARDSHORTLISTED FOR THE ATLANTIC CANADA POETRY PRIZE Sue Sinclair is the director inheritor of the great early 20th Century German poet, Rilke: she possesses intense lyrical vision, steeped in wonder at the existence of the world, and a kind of grief at our inability to lose ourselves in it completely. Her perception is acutely focused and rigorous; and she is acutely self-aware. She is not afraid of words like "beauty" or "being," yet, because of the intensity of her vision, she never uses them as clichés. Her gift for metaphor is astonishing and may remind some readers of the young Roo Borson. "You cross the heat-ridden ground, the sweet, brittle scentof sage rising underfoot. So easy to pretend a single wordwill occur to you, and that it will do all the goodanyone could hope. The earth is parched and lonely,relies on dignity to protect it. Each thing hanging by the thread of itself. Bleating crickets. Rustle of dry stalks.The silence pushes you toward yourself: It's time to walk deep into the heart of what troubles you."-from "Drought"
