Also gathered into \u003ci\u003eRivering\u003c\/i\u003e: lesbian love poetry from \u003ci\u003eTouch to my Tongue\u003c\/i\u003e; a transformance of Nicole Brossard's \u003ci\u003eMauve\u003c\/i\u003e; passages from \u003ci\u003eThe Given\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the 2009 Dorothy Livesay Poetry Prize; a traditional \"Kuri\" song from the Noh drama, \u003ci\u003eThe Gull\u003c\/i\u003e; and an unpublished excerpt from the chamber opera \"Shadow Catch.\" \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Difficult, beautiful, heart-breaking realities of the twenty-first century are urgently immediate in selections from \u003ci\u003eLiquidities: Vancouver Poems Then and Now\u003c\/i\u003e. All of the poems speak to Marlatt's poetics of place and of language as passage between distant or disparate human beings, and between human beings and the more-than-human world. The selections are framed by Susan Knutson's deeply attentive critical introduction and by Marlatt's \"immediacies of writing,\" a new lyrical essay investigating the act of writing. Closing with a walking meditation situated by her Buddhist practice, \u003ci\u003eRivering\u003c\/i\u003e is both a \"pocket Marlatt\" and an introduction to one of the best poets of our time. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.3 x 8.9 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 21, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42730152296511,"sku":"9781771120388","price":34.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/cb0bbc505a6951b77acba56fc2dda19b.webp?v=1765125025","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/rivering-the-poetry-of-daphne-marlatt-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
