Islands, The

The Islands is a voyage through images of islands and water and an exploration of memory, ritual, grief and childhood. It is an important collection in the work of seminal feminist Québécoise poet Louise Cotnoir, a writer who with Nicole Brossard, Louise Dupré and France Theoret redefined how a strongly gendered language can be turned to feminist poetry.
