Other Poems

Autor Jay Millar
en Limba Engleză Paperback – mar 2010
"I have to wonder why poets are always expected to write exactly what they wrote the last time they wrote a poem. So I wrote the poems a little differently this time. That's okay too."
- MillAr, interview published in The Danforth Review

Jay MillAr's poetry resists classification. This book, being a collection of Other Poems, is an assemblage of seemingly disparate materials--the poems are of various lengths, subjects and origins and were composed over the past ten years of this prolific author's life. Reading this book is likened to finding a box of photographs in a thrift store; here lies a miscellany of meaning that offers an intimate view of MillAr's "direct manner of spoken mind."

Recenzii

Praise for MillAr's previous work: "MillAr writes in a taut shorthand that combines the observational precision of a naturalist with a postmodernistinterest in how language shapes our perceptions... But [he]doesn't abandon traditional lyricism altogether; indeed, he has a knack for ear-pleasing, evocative phrasing. In "False Maps for Other Creatures," MillAr doesn't offer infallible paths of meaning through his meditations on place. But he does invite readers to make their own connections and discoveries."―Barbara Carey, "The Toronto Star" "The poems in this book are undeniably fruitious and wild. They embody language as a growing, sensate thing. Each line quivers like an open ended nerve..."―Kemeny Babineau, "The Danforth Review"
