SIGNED BY LORI CAYER on title page; Clean, tight, unmarked; very light rubbing to back cover; otherwise absolute minimal wear; appears unread; Lori Cayer's poetry soars and dives among tempests of desire, death, love and loss, pulling readers/listeners into the vortex of the storm and leaving us breathless in its aftermath. Her poems are merciless in their hunt for prey, from domestic minutia to the fluid flow of maelstoms. A father's knife "so thin it hums in the hand," a tornado pulling a ponytail into "whirligig, exclamation point, drill bit, blender." Attenuations of Force is tremor and aftershock, a howl into the wind, an unzipping of language. Very Good Soft cover Frontenac House 2010 Calgary, AB
