Book of Annotations - Paperback
by Cameron Anstee (Author)
Finalist for the Archibald Lampman Award
Finalist for the Nelson Ball Prize
The debut collection from small press editor and publisher Cameron Anstee, Book of Annotations
deploys a number of minimalist strategies-including erasure, found,
lyric, haiku, one-line, one-word, concrete/visual, cento, restricted
vocabularies, and lists-to question how small a poem can be made, and
how can a small poem be made expansive? Engaging with contemporary and
historical modes of minimalism, Book of Annotations is a dialogue in
shorthand with work by H. D., Nelson Ball, Lorine Niedecker, Aram
Saroyan, Phyllis Webb, Robert Lax, and dozens of others.
"Anstee's debut collection of poetry is definitely worthy of all acknowledgements and eligible accolades."--Arc Poetry Magazine
"Wise and playful, the epigrammatic poems in Book of Annotations push
past the limits of each word and into a space tense with imagination
and truth. Not a word is wasted as Cameron Anstee demonstrates supreme
control of space and minimalism."--Archibald Lampman Award jury citation
