Description: In a media-saturated culture that worships fear and outrage, how can we talk about emergencies, both public and private, in a way that cuts through surface truths? Kilby Smith-McGregor confronts this question with a dizzying range of voices animated by desire, humour, pleasure and grief. This remarkable debut collection from the winner of the 2010 RBC Bronwen Wallace Award is richly nuanced, filled with poetry that strikes a balance between baroque elegance and haunting understatement.
