Synopsis

Whether considering the Skeena River or the foibles of an onscreen diva, Zo? Landale creates vivid and unforgettable poetry. Shot through with bright colour and sharp natural imagery, this is not a calm, contemplative collection. Indeed, Landale punctuates her own poetic musings with a director's cut, a counterpoint of sly, often acerbic observations on her own lines. A fascinating and intricate work, Einstein's Cat is a collection that is sure to reward repeat readings.

About this title

Review:

"In Einstein's Cat, Landale's language is crisp, her images exact. Landale has a real talent for the tenor-vehicle relation, of which she makes copious use." - Canadian Literature

"It would be easy to center a review of Einstein's Cat on the instances of loss in the poems. Or one could write about the formal intricacies, the use of side text like marginalia which is in turns clever, thoughtful, a shot-to-the-gut... One could unravel the brilliantly intertwining texts of hero and heroine in the movie, and the real life couple in the remaining poems." - Canadian Poetries
