Full Description
Canisia Lubrin's signature epic vision distils her elegy to her mother, along an interwoven and unresolvable axis of astonishment that belongs as much to history as to today. Her lucid attention to what might be the oldest metaphor for grief is drawn from the searing gravity and resonance of the modern poet's decisive, interior and inexpressible meditation on love, time and loss in the excesses of life's ambitions.
'Incandescent' - Dionne Brand
