In Singular Plurals, Roland Prevost presents us with fictive — often surreal — images encapsulated in text that is layered in meaning, playful with language and polyphonous in tone. The poems explore the irregular spaces and tangential lines that separate and connect us, sometimes by gazing from a great distance, then zooming in for the close-up shot. A winner of the John Newlove Poetry Award and self-described explorer of here/now’s edge, Singular Plurals is his first full-length book of poetry.
“If what you snatch from the table of contents are titles, those alone are rich eating but the amuse-bouche of words continue to courses informed by the particular, people and places, a scope of emotions under the microscope. poems are often about what, but these encompass pondering why, and all the depth of cells under the why.”—Pearl Pirie
“Roland Prevost is a poet who pays careful and loving attention to the sounds, motions, phenomena and humanity of this world as it is and as it might be—and shares with you an uncommon language with which to participate in that attentiveness. A hand gesture, a telescopic view, a portmanteau word, a coinage new and apt, create a kind of waveform of language that is intimate and wise, kinetic and hushed.”—Stephen Brockwell
