Summary
"Increasingly known as the "poet's poet," 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 material to be pulled apart and rearranged. This volume is not so much a "selected poems" as it is a re-shuffle, a sampler, from the span of Hall's published work. Guthrie Clothing: The Poetry of Phil Hall, A Selected Collage is a collage-selection by the author of previously published lines, stanzas, and poem-fragments reworked and pared down, patterned together into a new structure. An important new essay-poem by Hall appears at the end. In an encompassing introduction, rob mclennan explores Hall's four-plus decades of bricolage."--
