SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2014 GOVERNOR GENERAL'S AWARD FOR POETRY<br>Shortlisted for the 2014 Gerald Lampert Memorial Award<br>Finalist for the 2014 Goldie Awards: Poetry Category<br><br>Moving from the Enlightenment science of natural history to the contemporary science of global warming, <i>Light Light</i> is a provocative engagement with the technologies and languages that shape discourses of knowing. It bridges the histories of botany, empire, and mind to take up the claim of "objectivity" as the dissolution of a discrete self and thus explores the mind's movement toward and with the world. The poems in <i>Light Light</i> range from the epigrammatic to the experimental, from the narrative to the lyric, consistently exploring the way language captures the undulation of a mind’s working, how that rhythm becomes the embodiment of thought, and how that embodiment forms a politics engaged with the environment and its increasing alterations.
