Silence of the Country - Gunnars, Kristjana

As New; These are poems of middle age, unadorned, grieved, tuned to the shift of sky and season, attending the small intimacies of the domestic, while scanning the alarming horizon of too much change. The poet's confusion of identity and place reflects the times - Ibsen's Norwegian cafe is a tourist shop, the rugged Native Canadian west coast shoreline is the site of noisy condominium development. How to live in a world defined by the "bourgeosie trying to part of a lost Atlantis," under the "last tin-coloured cloud of dawn"? here are "small ways of being human," held out against "rust-coloured rain," against despair. - Di Brandt
