Deriving is a feminist exploration of the creation of life, of
family, and of words themselves. Delisle asks: How does past
infertility colour the experience of new motherhood? How do
historical voices echo in the present? How does language impact our
ways of being in the world? These poems embrace the rich material
of mothering with unapologetic honesty, confronting the experiences
that some would keep hidden. Fear, anger, envy mix with joy and
ultimately hope, as Delisle considers the challenges of conceiving
and raising children in both familial and global contexts. Deriving
is a poignant, lyrical meditation on longing, place, and
embodiment. I watched it freeze up, rafts of white snagging beneath
the bridge, frazil ice, pans linked along the shoreline. Inside me
my son was building white fat on bone. - from “North
Saskatchewan”
