Poetry. With his debut collection of poetry, Jordan Scott traces his own history from Vancouver to Lodz, Poland. Informed by a lifelong stutter, his family's association with the Fraser River and his grandparents' hardships in WWII Poland, SILT's poetics move from Scott's own story to the geography of his birthplace of Port Moody. "This is a poetry book about the body's lived geologies. River, tongue, war, tooth, labourcamp, dollhouse, cabbage: all are part of the politics of a speech whose profoundly discontinuous landscape Jordan Scott overwrites with migratory and familial histories. Each word starts at anincarceration and haltingly enacts a survival. His kinetics are ambulatory, glottal, knotted by hope"--Lisa Robertson.
