And the selection of poems, drawn judiciously from Mandel's earliest collection to his final unpublished verse, ably demonstrates Mandel's range of interests and his mastery of conventional as well as experimental forms. They also show his inexhaustible fascination with the suppleness of words, the wild interplay of madness and reason, the sage contortions of meaning in our subconscious and the need to speak politically.''--Michael Higgins Telegraph-Journal (St. John, NB), March 12, 2011 Author InformationEli Mandel was a renowned Canadian poet, critic, editor, and anthologist for over three decades beginning in the 1950s.
