Description
"Killarnoe is a place I invented right now. I just built it from my head."
Polyvocal and formally rebellious, Sonnet L'Abbe's new collection of poems challenges and teases out our relationship with language itself.
Ranging from serenely musical to a homegrown Canadian rage to the peacebroker's urgent measure, L'Abbe's poems explore our progression from birth through the acquisition of language, into bodily awareness, injury, and multiple identity, on our singular search for the perfect expression of
communion.
Poems from this collection have been published in "The Walrus "magazine and anthologized.
