One sequence imagines Virginia Woolf's childhood; another unmakes her novel \u003ci\u003eThe Waves\u003c\/i\u003e by attempting to untangle its six overlapping narratives. Yet another, 'On the Scent, ' makes us fl neurs through the lives of a series of contemporary women, while 'The River Is All Thumbs' uses a palette of vibrant repetition to 'paint' a landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eQueyras's language - astute, insistent, languorous - repeats and echoes until it becomes hypnotic, chimerical, almost halluncinatory in its reflexivity. How lyrical can prose poetry be? How closely can it mimic painting? Sculpture? Film? How do we make a moment firm? These 'postmodern, ' 'postfeminist' poems pulse between prose and poetry: the line, the line, they seem to ask, must it ever end?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSina Queyras\u003c\/b\u003e's latest collection of poetry, \u003ci\u003eExpressway\u003c\/i\u003e, was nominated for a Governor General's Award and won Gold at the National Magazine Awards.
