The eclipse: poems after antonioni

By M Jay Smith

A poetic homage to Italian filmmaker Michelangelo Antonioni, the eclipse plumbs economic signifiers for aesthetic exchange value. The landscape is Alberta's natural resource-extraction economy: pump-jacks and concrete expanses, glimmering cities. The characters are women or architecture. What is the substance of luxury? What is the value of nothingness and beauty?
