"Slant Room" marks the book-length emergence of a poet whose work, already startlingly assured, is gaining national recognition. The poetry of Michael Eden Reynolds transforms both the Yukon's terrain and such everyday objects as a refrigerator through the use of arresting imagery and spare, dense language, finding a musical equivalence that is rare in contemporary Canadian poetry. ... I knock/ a cup of sugar cubes, it spits across/ the tabletop: metric archipelago.' The book's four sections include the spacious landscapes of Spare Room', an elegiac dream-suite, Migrations', and the strange mindscapes from the title section. The finale, Fugue', shows the poet expanding his repertoire in a suite of interpenetrating sonnets that wormhole from the past through a catastrophic future. Reynolds' voice, reminiscent by turns of the imagery of John Thompson and the musicality of W. S. Graham, is nonetheless distinctive, and finally original. This book is: ... a room that makes you: / the way that rock was split, awed, / mouth filled with rare plants and meltwater.'
