Title: Nought
Description: "Nought, a new collection of poetry from Governor General's Literary Award finalist Julie Joosten, explores the intersections of body, identity, and love. These poems, in all their passions, inhabit the unfastened "and" of capacious loves and allegiances, refusing to choose between them; in Nought, thought comes alive through the materiality of body and experience, neurology and metaphysics entangled with sentient physicality--skin, eyes, mouths. Throughout, Joosten grapples with form and rhythm, crafting work that is intimately perceptive; that pulses and teems with life. In Nought, experience--from resistance to love and all points between--is constantly surprising and utterly enchanting. It will alter your perception and construction of, and attention to, yourself and the surrounding world."--
