Hallelujah Time, Virgina Konchan‘s third full-length poetry collection–and the first to appear in Canada–delivers up poetry that is unlike anything being written today. Specializing in fast-moving monologues that track the vagaries and divagations of a mind in action, Konchan cuts our most hallowed cultural institutions and constructions down to size with surprising turns of language both theatrical and sincere. Hallelujah Time embraces a dazzling mix of idioms, registers, and tones in poems that compress everything they know into aphoristic, hard-boiled insights as arresting as they are witty. “My human desire,” Konchan writes, “is simple: / to live on the perpetual cusp / of extremity.” Hallelujah Time is a revelation.
“Anchored in a tone that balances personal perspective andintellectual relativity, Konchan’s poems are able to twist fromfrivolity to striking wisdom, turn from comedic imagery to aphorismson life and death, without sacrificing their emotional core.” – Montreal Review of Books
