    About Quick

    The human body is a world. How it contains all that it does, how it is altered, and how it is transformed after death are the concerns of Quick, a new collection of poetry from one of Canada’s most exciting poets. From the shock of a near-fatal car accident to a meditation on the body as one world within other, larger worlds, the book becomes an anatomy in itself.

    Praise

    “Simpson’s intelligent poetic language renders, in three dimensions, images of compelling resonance. . . .”
    — Quill & Quire

    “In this new collection, Anne Simpson’s voice is instantly recognizable. The poetics of distancing ‘how does love make itself so small?/ small as an eye-tooth, tissue-thin’ hold in check deeply felt emotion, and this tension brings the poems to a new level of intensity. . . . These are poems of extraordinary range, intelligence and empathy.”
    – Pat Lowther Memorial Award jury citation

    Awards

    League of Canadian Poets Pat Lowther Memorial Award FINALIST 2008
