A bilingual collection of poems that offers a surreal perspective of urban experience.

This bilingual edition of Nicole Brossard's lyrical poetry is a sequence of lush, taut cityscapes. Known for her elliptical and materially grounded poetics, Brossard creates an intimate series of poems drawn loosely from urban experience. The poems comprise an evocative distillation of postmodern urban life with a sharp sense of cultural and gendered histories of violence and beauty and struggles for survival and intimacy. The poems capture the emotional and ecological surroundings of each city and its people. The cities in Brossard's poems feel surreal and in them dwell survivors of "misfortunes," living in urban landscapes with their "gleaming debris" and "bridges, ghats, / rivers in a time of peace and torture." These poems gesture toward a transmuted social context and toward a quest "to meet the horizon the day after the horizon."
