In these poems, Jason Holt explores unusual word patterns that can help thoughts and feelings break free from the structures of habit and convention. Word-work and play come together here-in an attempt to resolve, by expressing them, the inevitable conflicts of raw experience."A new book by the inimitable Canadian poet Jason Holt always offers an adventure both exhilarating and terrifying. In one sense, Inversed is no exception to the patterns that mark this exceptional poet's progress. The reader will delight to find his trademarks of condensed diction and spare syntax, scintillating settings for his huge subjects in powerfully implosive poems that have consistently set Holt apart from all the other poets of his generation. But the poems of Inversed burn even brighter with the cold fire of Holt's word-passion, fluttering like a titanium butterfly on a pica." -Liane Heller, author of Exposures and Code of SilenceJason Holt lives in Wolfville, Nova Scotia with his wife Megan and their cats Ruby and Jasper.
