The Last White House at the End of the Row of White Houses

Meer over het boek

Poetry. The poems in THE LAST WHITE HOUSE AT THE END OF THE ROW OF WHITE HOUSES teem with delightful and confusing life, from workhorses and dinosaurs to wolves and kings. Alternately spare and lush, surreal and precise, these poems work their way under the skin to sing gorgeous songs to the heart. "Worlds of invention, humour, insight and the energy that is language. Michael e. Casteels's first full-length collection is rich with empathy for robots and the sea, and the brilliant, delicate, outrageous leaps the mind makes when given words and our lives." --Gary Barwin "Have you seen Michael e. Casteels's first full-length book of poems? It's here, in front of your face. It begins with a wolf at the door and ends by waving farewell to our hands. Inside you'll find everything you need: robots, a possum's sneeze, and coffins filled with jelly donuts. THE LAST WHITE HOUSE AT THE END OF THE ROW OF WHITE HOUSES is one of the most exciting debuts to appear in Canadian poetry. Brilliant, strange, beautiful and encouraging, Casteels's poetry is a repair kit for the human spirit." --Jason Heroux
