Torontology

3/5 ( ratings)

In a world where the poet is a filter, a cultural recombinator, this collection of poems sifts through the blur of data and stimulus to find the gold in the dross. The author explores the poetics of constraint and the practice of unconstrained writing. That pop song buzzing through your head? The TV show that’s become a guilty pleasure? That flock of pre-teens behind you on the subway? They’re all as “real” and poetic as classical tropes, archetypes, and forms. In Cain’s terms, context is always as important as content, and the quotidian is more expansive than ever imagined.
