<p><b>Governor General's Award–winning poet Don Domanski's posthumous last collection once again melds perception-expanding environmental poetry and metaphysics into a seamless, moving lyric whole.</b> </p> <p><i>Fetishes of the Floating World</i> continues Don's lifelong exploration of mystical ecology. It is an invitation to experience the sacred dimensions of what-is and to become more intimate with the strangeness that haunts our lively, changeable world. Here is a spirituality that doesn't turn its back on the material and immerses us in earthly being.</p> <p>The sustained apprehension of deep time underlies every moment of this work; every moment is held up against that more-than-human span and is relinquished to it. Domanski's full-bodied, incantatory language will penetrate your very marrow, calling you out of yourself to testify to the world's "inclement graces."</p> <p>"Domanski’s poems are intimate, but intimate on a grand scale. As far as I am concerned, there is no better poet writing in English."–Mark Strand on <i>All Our Wonder Unavenged</i></p>
