Expressway (Paperback) (ISBN: 9781552452165) Queyras, Sina Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: COACH HOUSE BOOKS, Canada, 2009. Paperback. Book Condition: New. 203 x 127 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. Shortlisted for the 2009 Governor General's Award for Poetry! "This poem resembles urban sprawl. This poem resembles the freedom to charge a fee. The fee occurs in the gaps. It is an event. It is not without precedent. It is a moment in which you pay money. It is a tribute to freedom of choice." "Reality is a parking lot in Qatar. Reality is an airstrip in Malawi." "Meanwhile the expressway encloses, the expressway round and around the perimeters like wagon trains circling the bonfire, all of them, guns pointed, Busby Berkeley in the night sky." Echoing the pastoral and elegiac modes of the Romantic poets, whose reverence for nature never prevented them from addressing it with all the ideas and sensibilities their times allowed, Sina Queyras's stunning collection explores the infrastructures and means of modern mobility. Addressing the human project not so much as something imposed on nature but as an increasingly disturbing activity within it, "Expressway" exposes the paradox of modern mobility: the more roads and connections we build, the more separate we feel. 'Cleanse the doors of perception, ' Blake urged, and with that in mind, Queyras has written a bravely lyrical critique of our ethical and ecological imprint, a legacy easily blamed on corporations and commerce, but one we've allowed, through our tacit acquiescence, to overwhelm us. Every brush stroke, every bolt and nut, every form and curve in our networks of oil and rubber, every thought and its material outcome -- each decision can make or unmake us.

Book Description: Coach House Books. Paperback. Book Condition: new. BRAND NEW, Expressway, Sina Queyras, Sina Queyras' stunning new collection explores the infrastructures and means of modern mobility. Addressing the human project not so much as something imposed on nature but as an increasingly disturbing activity within it, "Expressway" exposes the paradox of modern movement and connection: we build more and more roads and highways (concrete and fibre optic), but rather than feeling more connected - to the natural, to each other - the more disenfranchised and anxious we seem to become. 'Cleanse the doors of perception', Blake urged, and with that in mind, Queyras has written a bravely lyrical critique of our ethical and ecological imprint, a legacy easily blamed on corporations and commerce, but one we've allowed, through our tacit acquiescence, to overwhelm us. Every brush stroke, every bolt, and nut, every form and curve in our networks of oil and rubber, every thought and its material outcome - each decision can make or unmake us.
