The Unmemntioable
List Price:

Price: $12.08
You Save: $7.87 (39%)
Description
The Unmemntioable joins letters that should not be joined. There is, in this word, an act of force. Of devastation. The unmentionable is love, of course. But in Moure’s poems, love is bound to a duty: to comprehend what it was that the immigrants would not speak of. Now they are dead; their children and grandchildren know but an anecdotal pastiche of Ukrainian history. On Saskatoon Mountain in Alberta where they settled, only the chatter of the leaves remains of their presence. What was not spoken is sealed over, unmemntioable. There is no one left to contact in the Old Country. Can the unmemntioable retain its silence, yet be eased into words? Can experience still be spoken?
Little Theatres: Poems

Description
Erin Mouré, a frequent nominee and winner of the Governor General’s and other literary awards, is one of the most consistently innovative, imaginative poets at work in Canada. With each book, Mouré seeks nothing less than to re-create the act of writing from the ground up. Little Theatres follows this approach, appearing at a timely crossroads, when we most need our language to come alive again. Like the water imagery that filigrees through this collection at once lingual exchange, submersion, balm, and sustenance Mouré's multiplicity of voices is fluid, clear, animated, and as shimmering with light and life as ever. Galician and English intermingle in this collection like currents of the same river. An intimate act of cultural and personal interflow, this new work from a major poet has the power to alter the reader’s perception of where, and on what scale, the action is taking place.
Pillage Laud

Description
Poetry. First published in 1999 in an edition of 300 perfectbound copies and 26 spiralbound copies lettered A-Z and signed, PILLAGE LAUD by "Erín Moure" is a lost cult item that now returns to print. As the 1999 edition announced, PILLAGE LAUD selects from pages of computer-generated sentences to produce lesbian sex poems (cauterizations, vocabularies, cantigas, topiary and prose) by pulling through certain found vocabularies, relying on context: boy plug vagina library fate tool doctrine bath discipline belt beds pioneer book ambition finger fist flow. It used MacProse, a freeware designed by American poet and jazz musician Charles O. Hartman as a generator of random sentences based on syntax and lexicon instructions internal to the program; the program worked on Apple systems prior to OS X and is now in the dustbins of computer history. In 1999, the news was shocking: Moure's poems are written by a computer. In 2011, now that everyone is a computer, the book can be read anew.
Furious

$11.95
Price: $7.77
You Save: $4.18 (35%)
Description
The poetry in Furious is charged with Mouré's characteristic energy and wit as she explores the limits of "pure" reason and the language of power. There is, too, a fresh and often celebratory look at love, and, in an unusual finale, The Acts, Mouré challenges us to explore a feminist aesthetic: of thinking, of the page, of working life and the possibility of poetry.
O Resplandor
List Price:
$14.95
Price: $7.57
You Save: $7.38 (49%)
Description
This brilliant collection explores the idea that the act of reading is a practice of embodiment, containing all the experiences of the body itself: love, splendor, travel, doubling, and loss. The "resplandor" of the title refers to the radiance of the body when the language of the book flows into ears and eyes. As Moure explains, "We call this moment 'reading,' and in reading we stop and reverse time, explode geographies, inhabit others, and resurrect ourselves." In unexpected ways — through impossible translation, anachronistic journeys, and a fictional mystery that involves a search for a translator who exists only in the future beyond the book itself — O Resplandor confounds notions of authorship and translation, all while conveying the clamor over love and loss. Richly challenging and charged with Erín Moure's distinctive energy, this is a work about the powerful light contained in the human body, in translation, and in poetry.

Description
Poetry. Expeditions, taken up by the explorers we all are, ultimately cannot be read. Only experienced. On venturing into it, you'll find your ticket is no good, expired, or valid only on Tuesday. Your fellow travelers will tell you you are wearing the wrong shoes. If you force your way past the gate, you will stub your toe, scrape your shins, lose your suitcase, throw the book across the room in a fit of outrage or fall under its spell and suddenly find it half-submerged in your bathwater. At times, you will even laugh aloud. EXPEDITIONS OF A CHIMAERA is dialogic. Four pairs of hands try their luck at a game of cards. Nearby, questions sit, waiting to be asked. These expeditions are not progressions but digressions; they are translational in their effort to pull the author, kicking and screaming, out of the hat of authorial impossibilities.
