"Most long poems contain lyric occasions. Here is an amazingly
sustained lyric that contains traces of other commodities." -Robert
Kroetsch Sheila Murphy and Douglas Barbour extend their singular
poetic vision of that elusive third I/eye in Continuations 2. The
new lyric voice sustained (within) these labyrinthine verses does
so by virtue of its authors' pitch-perfect collaborative process.
For ten years they have kept their song alive via email, pulsing
jazz-like variations and haunting repetitions back and forth from
Arizona to Alberta, all the while adhering to that taut stanza of
six lines. Readers who admire Barbour and Murphy's past
innovations, or any poetry that gracefully exceeds its reach, will
enjoy Continuations 2.
"The strength of this book is in its quick-change artistry, the
sensation of flux that is continuous, and capable at any moment of
erupting into epiphany or surprise." Roo Borson Across great
distances and a panorama shaped by words, poets Douglas Barbour and
Sheila Murphy began writing in collaboration. Tapped to
technology's dance across paper, with thoughts like bright colours
coursing across screens, Continuations emerged as the product of a
new creator, a "third individual," who writes differently from
either poet. Words shapeshifted and poets transformed,
Continuations is an intriguing addition to the growing field of
collaborative poetry in North American literature.
