Angular unconformity
A discordant surface of contact between the deposits of two
episodes of sedimentation in which the older, underlying strata
have undergone folding, uplift, and erosion before the deposition
of the younger sediments, so that the younger strata truncate the
older.
-- Michael Allaby, ed., "A Dictionary of Earth Sciences," 3rd
ed. (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2008)
"Angular Unconformity" shows us a life's work in cross-section,
a restless and humane intelligence, ever searching, ever shifting,
finding meaning in our blink-of-an-eye existence against a backdrop
of geological time unimaginable in its scale.
In this volume, the first comprehensive collection of Don
McKay's poetry, this pre-eminent Canadian poet displays his gift
for thinking through metaphor, channelling a profound philosophical
discourse through plain language and striking imagery. In his
poetry, disciplined attention and contemplation break through the
commonplace and illuminate an ecological understanding of the world
as it is.
