Description

Attenuations of Force is the second full-length book from one of Canada's unique lyric poets. She brings her angular and exacting vision to considerations of mortality and bodily trauma, emotional extremes. What the unwary or new reader of Cayer will find in Attenuations of Force is, among other matters, a harrowing cross-species pity generated from watching a dead pigeon decay on a nearby rooftop; the intimately rendered mishaps of trying out drugs that are not in positive compliance with the taker's neurology; what it's like to be nearly swept up into a tornado while standing in the flats nearby trying to take photographs of it; and care-taking one's grandmother into her dying.
