Cheat of Words, The

Steve McCaffery (Author)

Expanding on the linguistic and political issues addressed in the poet's previous collection, this work forces readers to encounter and negotiate an insistent slippage of meaning. Exploiting language's inherent ability to shift, the poet demonstrates the incessant potential within writing to disturb all drives toward stability. Defiantly nonlyrical, this poetry achieves a neobaroque spirit within its regulatory skepticism.

Steve McCaffery is the author of more than 16 books, including Theory of Sediment, which was nominated for the 1992 Governor General's Award for poetry, and, with bpNichol, Rational Geomancy: The Collected Research Reports of the Toronto Research Group. He lives in Toronto, Ontario.
