Governor General?s Award?winner Phil Hall has long been a constructor of intricate sequences, collecting and arranging lines and phrases, artifacts, and small revelations. He writes on influences, literary and local; he writes of rural Ontario, attempting to comprehend a deeply personal family violence; he stitches together lines and tall tales and fables from his life and the stories that float around the ethos of his variety of Ontario wilds. Hall?s isn?t a poetry carved into perfect diamond form but a poetry whittled from scores of found materials pulled apart and rearranged. This volume is not so much a ?selected poems? as it is a reshuffle, a sampler from the span of Hall?s published work. Guthrie Clothing is a collage-selection by Hall. Lines, stanzas, and poem-fragments are reworked and patterned into a new sequence, a fresh structure. The afterword consists of an important new essay-poem by Hall as well. It argues against irony from a rural perspective and amounts to Hall?s ars poetica. In an encompassing introduction, rob mclennan explores Hall?s four-plus decades of bricolage. 410 0$aLaurier poetry series. 606 $aCanadian poetry 606 $aPOETRY / Canadian$2bisacsh 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCanadian poetry. 615 7$aPOETRY / Canadian. 676 $aC811/.54 686 $aHQ 5999$2rvk 700 $aHall$b Phil$f1953-$0918801 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910155153603321 996 $aGuthrie Clothing$92060529 997 $aUNINA
