Appetite

By (author): Mia Anderson

Verve, energy, wit, piquance and pure linguistic excitement: Mia Anderson’s poetry is a whole cookbook of poetic experiences. Anderson is always ready to take big risks, and her work shows her love of life in its manyness and accident, as well as a delight in the intricate prism of language. Appetite includes the long poem sequence “The Saugeen Sonata” which won The Malahat Review’s Long Poem Prize in 1988.
