Description: "Toward. Some. Air. is an unprecedented collection of contemporary poetics from Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom. Here, poet and scholar Amy De'Ath and former Parliamentary Poet Laureate Fred Wah collect a wide range of conversations, statements, essays, profiles, and poems and place these often radical and interdisciplinary approaches in proximal relation to each other. The result is an open invitation to consider the contours and meanings of Anglophone poetic practice as a mode of interpreting the world, its potential for transforming subjectivity, or something else entirely. With over forty renowned contributors it is an invaluable resource for students, teachers, and writers."--
