CRATE, JOAN - Foreign Homes

London, Ontario, Canada, Brick Books. 2002. (ISBN: 1894078195). Paperback. Book, Book. Clean tightly bound copy. Unmarked pages. "In Foreign Homes, Joan Crate travels throught domesticity and dislocations, where what was thought to be home becomes alien, and where the alien is, piece by piece, made into home-often in the simple, physical act of laying a table, or driving a highway, or reassembling a torn photograph. At the centre of the book is a burning, incantatory sequence of poems circling Shawnandithit, a nineteenth-centruy Beothuk who died in exile in Newfoundland, the last of her people. By slipping from voice to voice, from lover to landscape to language, present to past, exile to return, Joan Crate illuminates the boundaries that are also border-crossings between one person, one place, and another." 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Book. Fine.
