Poetry English-Language
Sandy Pool, Calgary, Exploding into Night.
(Guernica Editions; distributed by University of Toronto Press) (ISBN 978-1-55071-307-7)
An entrancingly erotic narrative poem, lush with image and hard to put down, Sandy Pool’s Exploding into Night takes big risks in form, subject and voice – and succeeds. The reader is seduced by language into a relationship with material that is both dangerous and uncomfortable, paralleling the protagonist’s own seduction.
