Originally published in English in 2003, Nicole Brossard' s Museum of Bone and Water delivers sensual and provocative investigations of the human body - our physical and spiritual museums of identity and desire - that pulse and surprise at every turn. In this collection, fingers, lips, fists, cheeks mingle in the palm trees of Dublin and Key West, the heat of Palermo and Madrid. With each dazzling turn and each "crazy" silence, Brossard speeds our breath and quickens our hearts, reminding us that poetry too is both a physical and spiritual reality. , a finalist for the Governor General' s Literary Award, is recognized as a major work in the oeuvre of leading Quebecoise poet, novelist, and essayist Nicole Brossard - recently honoured with the Lifetime Recognition Award by the Griffin Trust for Excellence in Poetry. The collection is now available in a handsome A List edition with a new introduction by XXXXXX.
