  Poetry English-Language

Sina Queyras

 

Sina Queyras, Montreal, Expressway.
(Coach House Books; distributed by LitDistCo) (ISBN 978-1-55245-216-5)

Expressway is a jagged meditation on how we have constructed ourselves and our world. From a collage of Google text to a re-visioning of the journals of Dorothy Wordsworth, Sina Queyras explores the possibilities for poetry and human survival as death, speed and spurious freedoms collide with dreams of hope, wisdom and action.
