Von der hinteren Coverseite

Back Cover You will not find any easy answers here, but there are some common threads. Unlike the Group of Seven, these seven poets did not begin with a shared polemic. Indeed they speak from different regions, generations, sexualities, classes, races, and communities. Yet, despite their divergent tracks, these poets are, as Dionne Brand says, part of a genealogy of poets who "take up the hard questions," and "push their ideas and their language and their minds." Endlessly curious, lively, mischievous, funny and provocative, you will surely enjoy spending a couple of hours in their company. -from Poets Talk Front Flap Seven diverse poets distinguished by age, gender, sexual orientation, and race.
