In two massive volumes, Steve McCaffery, Canada's most
challenging, experimental and innovative poet/critic amasses the
best of his previously published and ungathered work.
From the early concrete and visual poems of "Broken Mandala" and
"Transitions to the Beast" to the Ludwig Wittgenstein-inspired
philosophical investigations of "EVOBA, " from the innovative novel
"Panopticon" to the Governor General's Award-nominated "Theory of
Sediment" and the recent "The Cheat of Words, " this comprehensive
edition covers all phases of McCaffery's vast and heterogeneous
poetic oeuvre. Many works that have previously only been available
in small, privately circulated editions, such as "Shifters" and
"Every Way Oakly, " are available in perfect-bound form here for
the first time.
Volume 2, following in the wake of the extraordinarily
successful first volume, collects the best of McCaffery's
ungathered work. Along with selections from his concrete and visual
poetry, this book contains sound poem and performance scores,
excerpts from early chapbooks, 'pataphysical essays and sections of
the often-discussed but rarely seen text "The Abstract Ruin." For
new readers and long-time fans of McCaffery alike, Volume 2 of
"Seven Pages Missing" is essential reading.
