<p class="MsoNormal"><i>A Night for the Lady</i> explores the terrain of poetry conversation.&#10;Each poem arises from conversations with poets, colleagues and intimate&#10;friends. <b></b></p>&#10;&#10;<p class="MsoNormal">Poems range from a 1998 conversation on healing programs and&#10;the fundamentals of world change to a sequence of recent indigenous literary&#10;events on the prairies. Within the context of these conversations, an&#10;exploration emerges of the roles of woman within local as well as historic&#10;literary and global situations. The poems draw together diverse figures from&#10;world literature, world religions and myths to lay open the experience of human&#10;beings within the &#8220;brown-feminine.&#8221; Identifying and synthesizing connections&#10;across a wide palette of human experience, this collection challenges the&#10;divisions of personal and global, indigenous and &#8220;everyone else,&#8221; all the while&#10;celebrating both the humanity and the divinity of the Lady. Playful, erotic and&#10;occasionally harrowing, this collection bundles together experimental and&#10;inspirational work from a longstanding voice of conscience in Canadian letters.&#10;Once again, Arnott carries us into the most intimate terrain, casts her net&#10;widely, catches us up.</p>
