Tim Lilburn: The Volcano's High Held Snow Note, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

From Governor General's Award-winning poet Tim Lilburn comes a stunning new collection of poetry about the natural world and our place in it.

The Volcano's High Held Snow Note is a collection preoccupied with a small mountain called SṈAḴE (Snow Mountain) in the language of the W̱SÁNEĆ people on the Saanich Peninsula and the Gulf Islands. The time is the days of early Covid and the multiplying signs of violent climate alteration in burning northern forests. Elsewhere, an uncanny holy child wishes to swim through matter and find healing substances deep under the earth, Marguerite Porete has some ideas for how to deal with Master Reason in a crisis, and hummingbirds take in half-frozen sugar slush as anagogic liquid.
