Beschreibung:
Winner of the 2012 Pat Lowther Memorial AwardWinner of the 2012 Atlantic Poetry PrizeA powerful diptych juxtaposing our rootedness in family love with a report from the precipice of planetary disintegration. Sue Goyette's outskirts is a tour de force. Its originality lies in Goyette's refusal of despair, her conviction that the connections among people, their conversation, curiosity, empathy and awe, can help us see a way forward. Her aim is to find energy in human love, a way to walk the darkness rather than hide from it. This book will name you, and frighten you; make you laugh, and arm you for what is to come.
