A bilingual collection of poems that offers a surreal perspective
of urban experience. This bilingual edition of Nicole Brossard's
lyrical poetry is a sequence of lush, taut cityscapes. Known for
her elliptical and materially grounded poetics, Brossard creates an
intimate series of poems drawn loosely from urban experience. The
poems comprise an evocative distillation of postmodern urban life
with a sharp sense of cultural and gendered histories of violence
and beauty and struggles for survival and intimacy. The poems
capture the emotional and ecological surroundings of each city and
its people. The cities in Brossard's poems feel surreal and in them
dwell survivors of "misfortunes," living in urban landscapes with
their "gleaming debris" and "bridges, ghats, / rivers in a time of
peace and torture." These poems gesture toward a transmuted social
context and toward a quest "to meet the horizon the day after the
horizon."
