The beating heart of this assured de?but by Richard Kelly Kemick is the Porcupine caribou herd of the western Arctic. In Caribou Run, Richard Kelly Kemick orchestrates a suite of poems both encyclopedic and lyrical, in which the caribou is both metaphor and phenomenon; both text and exegesis. He explores what we share with this creature of blood and bone and what is hidden, alien, and ineffable. Following the caribou through their annual cycle of migration, Kemick experiments with formal and thematic variations that run from lyric studies of the creature and its environment, to found poems that play with the peculiar poetry of scientific discourse. to highly personal poems that find resonance in the caribou as a metaphor and a guiding spirit. Running the gamut from long-lined free verse and ghazal form to tightly controlled tankas and interwoven rhyme schemes, Caribou Run serves notice that a formidable new talent has been let loose on the terrain of Canadian poetry. 606 $aCaribou$xMigration$vPoetry 606 $aCaribou$vPoetry 606 $aPoetry 615 0$aCaribou$xMigration 615 0$aCaribou 615 0$aPoetry. 676 $aC811/.6 700 $aKemick$b Richard Kelly$f1989-$01370215 702 $aMcKay$b Don$f1942- 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136120103321 996 $aCaribou run$93397819 997 $aUNINA
