A raw and intimate testimony of the spatial and emotional difficulty of facing the self and the other
A Number of Stunning Attacks
contributes to the ongoing association of fragmented forms and women's
writing, yet the insistent repetitions and crystallized imagery produce
something more coherent than a fragment and more dynamic than a single
whole. Drawing on a line of innovative women's poetics in Canada, these
poems recall the radical experiments of Lisa Robertson, Er?n Moure, and
Gail Scott. Intoxicated by disorientation, the reader will ask: Which
city is this? Which woman is this? Which reader am I?
