SHAKEN
BY PHYSICS by John MacKenzie
This is a bold, beautiful, meditative second book from one of our most daring and brilliant young poets. John MacKenzie shows us one person's struggle to understand and apply concepts from classical and quantum physics to his sensations, thoughts and emotions. MacKenzie's earthy storytelling ability, startling images and trademark wry humour are as apparent here as they were in his award-nominated, much praised first book, SLEDGEHAMMER. Here is gorgeous, playful and powerful poetry that has the unsettling effect of shaking our belief in both science and words. ABOUT THE AUTHOR John MacKenzie was born on Prince Edward Island. At nineteen, he began to write poetry and travel across Canada. He now lives in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. His much-praised first book, Sledgehammer and Other Poems, was shortlisted for the 2000 Atlantic Poetry Prize and the Gerald Lampert Award. |
