The selected poems in Desire Never Leaves span Tim Lilburns career, demonstrating the evolution of a unique and careful thinker as he takes his place among the nations premier writers. This edition of his poetry untangles many of the strands running through his works, providing insight into a poetic world that is both spectacular and humbling.The introduction by Alison Calder situates Lilburns writing in an alternate tradition of prairie poetry that relies less on the vernacular and more on philosophy and meditation. Examining Lilburns antecedents in Christian mysticism and the ascetic tradition, Calder stresses the paradoxical nature of Lilburns writingthe expression of loss through plenitude. The divine in the natural world is glimpsed in brief flashes; nevertheless, the poet, driven by love, continues his quest for what glitters in things.Tim Lilburns afterword is an evocative meditation grounded in personal history. He speaks of how poetry, a craning quiet, allows one to hear what is alive in the world. He also describes how poetry is resolutely attached to both a historical moment and an individual subjectivity that is inevitably anchored in time. Lilburns poetry is both a religious undertaking and a political gesture that speaks to the urgency of situating ourselves where we live.
