      • Description

      Near the centre of Marrying the Animals, Cornelia Hoogland’s new book of poetry, is the sequence “In the Meantime: Elizabeth Smart Poems” Hoogland’s exploration of Smart’s obsession with the poet George Barker is an apt heart for this volume, for its abiding spirit is passion. With feather touch and “kelp green longing,” Hoogland pauses over the minutiae of the daily, of the loved. Her lyric intensity embraces family, friends, lovers and literature. Yet she never ignores the untameable passion that circumscribes both love and language, and shades the familiar into wilderness.

      Though much of the work of Brick Books takes place on the ancestral lands of the Anishinaabeg, Haudenosaunee, Huron-Wendat, and Mississaugas of the Credit peoples, our editors, authors, and readers from many backgrounds are situated from coast to coast to coast in Canada on the traditional and unceded territories of over six hundred nations who have cared for Turtle Island from time immemorial. While living and working on these lands, we are committed to hearing and returning the rightful imaginative space to the poetries, songs, and stories that have been untold, under-told, wrongly told, and suppressed through colonization.
