From the author of The Baudelaire Fractal, a poetry classic, with
new work In 2004, boldly original poet Lisa Robertson published a
chapbook, Rousseau's Boat, poems culled from years of notebooks
that are, nevertheless, by no means autobiographical. In 2010, she
expanded the work into a full-length book, R's Boat. During the
pandemic, she was drawn back into decades of journals to shape
Boat. These poems bring fresh vehemence to Robertson's ongoing
examination of the changing shape of feminism, the male-dominated
philosophical tradition, the daily forms of discourse, and the
possibilities of language itself. "Robertson has quietly but surely
emerged as one of our most exciting and prolific philosophers-I
mean poets. Interested in architecture, weather systems, fashion,
autobiography, gender, the classics, and just about everything
else, she manages to irradiate her subjects with calm, wit, and
astonishing beauty. Robertson's style is both on splendid display
and under fierce interrogation in her latest book, R's Boat."
-Kenyon Review "In R's Boat, Robertson has penned a
post-conceptual, post-lyric, relentlessly self-examining
performance of memory and sincerity that manages, remarkably, to be
both theoretically concerned and deeply emotive." -Harvard Review
"R's Boat grapples with form, the constraint of language and
tradition, and the challenge to avoid anything that might exist as
template. The poems examine feminism, discourse, the body, and
poetry itself through sumptuous, seductive language." -American
Poets
