Holding Pattern

by Shane Rhodes

Rhodes investigates the boundaries between poetry and fiction through a selection of lyrical poems and two long poems. A love affair unfolds alongside excerpts from Kafka’s journals. A pornographer remembers his childhood. The end of a relationship takes place in the banter between footnotes and a poem. This second collection places Rhodes within a small group of young, talented writers at the breaking point—and forefront—of Canadian poetry.
