Beschreibung:
Phlip Arima is a Toronto author of three previous poetry books: Breathe Now, Damaged, and Beneath the Beauty. Broken Accidents, a collection of short fiction, was short-listed for a 2003 Relit Award. His poetry has been adapted to video by Vision Television, and his fiction to stage by Newfoundland's RCA Theatre.
Pin Pricks is a collection of deceptively simple poems and aphorisms, each of which expresses an understanding of what it means to be human in this high-tech, global age. The poems leap from urban first world concerns to third world struggles, from the solidly grounded to the surreal, from sombre to witty to playful and humourous, yet gradually gather into a larger whole. They constantly remind us that we are all intimately connected, struggling, and fortunate to be alive. Like the pricks of a pin, they are short, sharp and memorable.
