Writer In ResidenceMarch 1st to March 31stPaul Vermeersch »Paul Vermeersch is the author of The Reinvention of the Human Hand (McClelland & Stewart, 2010) and three other collections of poetry. He is also the editor of The I.V. Lounge Reader and The Al Purdy A-frame Anthology. LATEST SUBMISSION »M&S Poetry Launch: Dionne Brand, Paul Vermeersch, and John StefflerCome and join in celebrating the launch of these three new collections of poetry from McClelland & Stewart. OSSUARIES by Dionne Brand, Toronto's Poet Laureate. Dionne Brand's mesmerizing new collection of poems is about human zoos in the contemporary world, about the bones of fading cultures and ideas, about putting these bones away even as Brand examines their textures of powder and stone, their resilience. There are multiple strands in Ossuaries — the narrative of a woman fleeing, the sorting of the bones, the museums of spectacle that the poet visits collecting them, and the search for their final place — and always the political urgency and incantatory lyric intensity for which Brand is justly celebrated. .
