Free Downloads Children Of The Outer Dark: The Poetry Of Christopher Dewdney (Laurier Poetry)
A four-time Governor General’s-award nominee for both poetry and non-fiction, Christopher Dewdney is celebrated internationally as a writer and a visionary and is best known for his particular imagining of place and memory. Beginning with Paleozoic fossil formations in southwestern Ontario and moving through eons of natural history to cityscapes and the digital present, Dewdney’s poetics encapsulate often surreal experiences from radical and epiphenomenal perspectives. His writing vibrates in a standing wave between science and art, reason and myth―embedding geology, neurophysiology, linguistics, and post-digital technology within a play of transitory viewpoints. Children of the Outer Dark provides a geological survey of Dewdney’s poetic strata. The poems selected, along with their order of presentation, serve a critical function to mine diverse layers of development in Dewdney’s career. This collection will reward all those who seek inspiration and will provide teachers, students, and other writers with a short natural history of one of Canadas essential poetic minds.

This is a best of anthology and every piece is great. I had never heard of Dewdney before I bought this book, but now I look for him every time I browse the dusty shelves of used book stores. This man is important. His writing reads effortlessly but is impossible to disregard. He caught me with the hook:Leaves aresculptures of themsleveswhilethe arrangement of branchesin vertical cipherslead the climberto easyarmlength conclusions
