Book First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. Original printed wraps. 96 pp. Octavo. Slant Room marks the book-length emergence of a poet whose work, already startlingly assured, is gaining national recognition. The poetry of Michael Eden Reynolds transforms both the Yukon's terrain and such everyday objects as a refrigerator through the use of arresting imagery and spare, dense language, finding a musical equivalence that is rare in contemporary Canadian poetry. `. I knock/ a cup of sugar cubes, it spits across/ the tabletop: metric archipelago.' The book's four sections include the spacious landscapes of `Spare Room', an elegiac dream-suite, `Migrations', and the strange mindscapes from the title section. The finale, `Fugue', shows the poet expanding his repertoire in a suite of interpenetrating sonnets that wormhole from the past through a catastrophic future. Reynolds' voice, reminiscent by turns of the imagery of John Thompson and the musicality of W. S. Graham, is nonetheless distinctive, and finally original. This book is: `. a room that makes you:/ the way that rock was split, awed,/ mouth filled with rare plants and meltwater.' Printed offset by Tim Inkster on the Heidelberg KORD at the printing office of the Porcupine's Quill in the Village of Erin, Wellington County, Ontario, Canada. Smyth sewn into 16-page signatures with hand-tipped endleaves front and back.
