Raising Eyebrows more than Bean Spasms.

Barwin is the most exciting poet to come out of Canada since Ted Padgett and Ron Berrigan moved to Toronto to start the New Toronto School in the 60s. The poems in this engaging, inciteful, and energetic collection build on the work created by bpMcCaffery and Steve Nichol of the TISH Research Group and the visionary free-form poetics espoused by Don Bissett and Bill Coles.Barwin's poems are always inventive and invigorating. Imagine if Seamus Heaney and Tristan Tzara met T.S. Eliot and Rimbaud on a day when the potatoes were on fire. This book would be the result.
