Poems: The Weight of Oranges Miner's Pond Skin Diversby Anne Michaels
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Prior to her stunning first novel, Fugitive Pieces, Anne Michaels had already won awards and critical acclaim for two books of poetry: The Weight of Oranges (1986), which won the Commonwealth Prize for the Americas, and Miner's Pond (1991), which received the Canadian Authors Association Award and was short-listed for the Governor General's Award and the Trillium Award. Although they were published separately, these two books, along with Skin Divers, a collection of Michaels's newest work, were written as companion volumes. Poems brings all three books together for the first time, creating for American readers a wonderful introduction to Anne Michaels's poetry. Meditative and insightful, powerful and heart-moving, these are poems that, as Michael Ondaatje has written, "go way beyond games or fashion or politics . . . They represent the human being entire." Synopsis:In this collection of Michaels's three previous books of poetry, "The Weight of Oranges, " "Miner's Pond, " and "Skin Divers, " we encounter stunning poetic meditations on art, nature, and memory. Lucie Brock-Broido said of the poems in this collection, "They are like imagined lakes on which Michaels navigates with a fluid and moving logic. These lyrical narratives float on their own transparent surfaces with precision, tenderness, liquidity." Indeed, Michaels' language is magically limber, vivid, and stron and the urgency with which her poems are constructed is so forceful that one is drawn into her hauntingly beautiful vision of the world.
