This delectable book collects the rococo prose of Lisa Robertson. There are essays many originally published as catalogue texts by art galleries on the syntax of the suburban home, Vancouver fountains, Value Village, the joy of synthetics, scaffolding and the persistence of the Himalayan blackberry. It makes for one of the most intriguing books youll ever read.
Lisa Robertson's books of poetry include XECLOGUE, DEBBIE: AN EPIC (nominated for the Governor General's Award for Poetry in 1998), THE WEATHER (winner of the Relit Award for Poetry in 2002), THE MEN and LISA ROBERTSON'S MAGENTA SOUL WHIP. University of California Press published Rousseau's Boat in Spring 2010. She is currently writer in residence at Simon Fraser University.
