Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
George Bowering has always maintained many of his poems are germinated in secret wayssecrets he has, until now, assiduously kept to himself. In suddenly giving most of those secrets away, Vermeers Light, much of it written while Bowering was in office as Canadas first poet laureate, constitutes an extraordinary gesture of generosity from a poet to his readership who has so honoured him. Its alphabet series A, Youre Adorable, by Ellen Field, a pseudonym Bowering often used in the nineties; Imaginary Poems for AMB , addressed to his late wife Angela; He Is Not, a microtranslation of Shelleys Adonais; Q&A, which dares to take on the most fundamental questions of the human condition with levelheaded honesty and witthe list of revelations and the pyrotechnics of Bowerings craft presented here are spellbinding.But the greatest astonishment about this celebratory collection from a poet at the height of his powers is that it contains all eight variations of Grandfather, Bowerings most anthologized poem to date, set into an essay, Rewriting My Grandfather, like eight jewels in a crown at the end of the book. It is here that the poet presents his readers with a voyage of discovery; that the buried treasure of his invisible but adamantine craft is to be found; and the gift of entrance into how George Bowering creates his work is revealed.
