8 x 8 x 7
by COLIN SMITH
8 x 8 x 7 finds the Winnipeg-based poet COLIN SMITH in panopticon mode, his eye everywhere, glittering and shifting planes like a human kaleidoscope. Even those who have followed Smith's career since his term in Vancouver's estimable Kootenay School of Writing, and his previous book Multiple Poses (Tsunami Editions, 1997) might not be prepared for the intensity of feeling now so thoroughly mashed up with his vaunted multiplicity.
8 x 8 x 7 by Colin Smith (Krupskaya 2008) - now available for order
