Produktbeschreibung
A stunning new book of poems from the Griffin Poetry Prize-winning author of Loop. A cell is a world within a world within a world. In this remarkable new collection, Anne Simpson finds form and inspiration in the cell - as it divides and multiplies, expanding beyond its borders. As these poems journey from the creation of the world emerging out of chaos to the slow unravelling of a life that is revealed in a poem that twists like a double helix, Simpson illuminates what it means to be alive, here and now. Rich with the muscular craft, vibrant imagery, and exquisite musicality for which her poetry is widely acclaimed, this collection sees Simpson continuing to "negotiate an ever-changing path between language and structure" (Vancouver Sun) - with astonishing results. It is a work of great vision from one of our most compelling poetic voices.
