In her third full-length collection, acclaimed poet Angeline Schellenberg takes a blong, loving look at the realb (to borrow theologian Walter Burghardtbs phrase). With her ear formed by Ignatian spirituality, her body sensitized by neurodivergence and trauma, Schellenberg listens to the world with humour, reverence, and above all, empathy. Weaving the sights and sounds we perceive with the questions we dare to ask, Mondegreen Riffs explores the intersection of sensation, meaning, and wonder. This groundbreaking collection intertwines three series: prose poetry on the social history of colour; poems impersonating musical instruments; and lyrical answers to odd online inquiries such as bIf I eat myself, would I become twice as big or disappear completely?b Schellenberg invites us to embrace a holy uncertainty, and in doing so to bmishear the most beautiful things.b
