Produktbeschreibung
2022 City of Victoria Butler Book Prize Shortlist Governor General's Award?winning poet Arleen Paré combines the story of two first best friends with questions of the mystery of cosmic first cause. The poems in First, Arleen Paré's seventh collection, search for a long-lost first friend. They conjure the subtle layers of meaning in that early friendship to riff on to a search for how we might possibly understand the primal First: the beginnings of the cosmos that contains our own particular lives, beginnings and longings. This layered evocation of the past-of childhood in 1950s Dorval, a green mesh of girls friendships and fights-and the intensity of the desire to know, give First its haunting beauty. [T]he word though old fashioned, Paré writes, is whence . . . unconditioned origins when no worthy question is ever answered on the same plane that it was asked; how to frame the question not knowing the plane on which I must ask it.
