Museum of Bone and Water

Available for the first time in more than fifteen years, this collection from celebrated poet, novelist, and essayist Nicole Brossard is a provocative investigation of the human body our physical and spiritual museums of identity and desire. Nicole Brossards Museum of Bone and Water delivers sensual and provocative investigations of the human body our physical and spiritual museums of identity and desire that pulse and surprise at every turn. In this collection, fingers, lips, fists, cheeks mingle in the palm trees of Dublin and Key West, the heat of Palermo and Madrid. With each dazzling turn and each crazy silence, Brossard speeds our breath and quickens our hearts, reminding us that poetry too is both a physical and spiritual reality. Museum of Bone and Water, a finalist for the Governor Generals Literary Award, is recognized as a major work in the oeuvre of leading Qubcoise poet, novelist, and essayist Nicole Brossard recently honoured with the Lifetime Recognition Award by the Griffin Trust for Excellence in Poetry. The collection is now available in a handsome A List edition with a new introduction by Robert Majzels and Ern Moure.
