Since her internationally renowned debut collection questions i asked my mother, Di Brandt has remained curious, asking questions and pushing poetic bounds. Now for the first time, the diverse poetics of this celebrated prairie writer are showcased in one volume. From trailblazing intercultural and intergenerational engagements to revisionary explorations of gender, place and environmental consciousness, readers will get a chance to experience the breathtaking work of one of Canada’s most influential poets.
