Light: Poems

Souvankham Thammavongsa

0/5 ( ratings)

A beautiful re-issued edition of poetry from the Scotiabank Giller Prize-winning author of How To Pronounce Knife

FEATURING A NEW INTRODUCTION BY THE AUTHOR

Winner, Trillium Book Award for Poetry

Light examines the word that gives the collection its name. There are poems about a sparkle, about how to say light, about a scarecrow, a dung beetle, a fish without eyes. Known for her precision and elegance, for her small, clear voice, for distilling meaning from details, for not wasting words, Thammavongsa confirms her gifts with these astonishing poems. Light is a work that shines with rigour, humour, courage, and grit.

First published in 2013, Souvankham Thammavongsa's award-winning third book of poetry is an indispensable contribution to Canadian Literature.
