Et par smakeprøver:

Jason Christie –- "_Canada Post_":http://www.audiatur.no/bokhandel/?visning=bok&id=17864 Poetry is classically a tool of nation building, and Canada Post is acutely aware that the poetry is “a sequence of grifts where you move your wallet to, and then you move there too.” In Canada Post, the grift is acknowledged and expressed in miniature — it troubles its support of nation in favour of smaller gestures: the neighbourhood, the street, the home and the DMZ between your couch and your television.

Angela Rawlins — "_Wide Slumber for Lepidopterists_":http://www.audiatur.no/bokhandel/?visning=bok&id=7002 Wide Slumber for Lepidopterists, is a sensual magic-realist book of poetry that aligns the human sleep cycle with the life cycle of butterflies and moths. Affected by her background in dance and theatre, Rawlings’ text has a highly kinetic aspect, an awareness of the body and the breath which is unusual in such linguistically-innovative writing. Rawlings brings a vocabulary of dance and the body to her consideration of how to approach text as an active, moving site, asking “How can sound translate into text, text into movement, movement into text? How can a page act as a stage for words?”

Natalie Simpson — "_accrete or crumble_":http://www.audiatur.no/bokhandel/?visning=bok&id=17869 accrete or crumble, Natalie Simpson’s first book of poetry, stares at language long enough that what remains under the wilting gaze is rhythm, sound and the accumulation of impression. Simpson turns language back upon itself: “The story begins pronounful and already lisping. / I lip you, speech sake, you slip and lather formal / a puncture slip in a screw tight lip means no.” Each poem parses our speech into new until based not on clarity but on the grinding sound of punctuation.
