Description:
Robert Flanagan was a Canadian poet born in Toronto in 1946. This book, Incisions, was his second book of poetry published. The poems are unique for their incredible brevity, but are nevertheless, or perhaps because of this, all the more impactful. The collection includes a preface written by Margaret Atwood. In describing his poems, Atwood wrote in the preface: "Incisions is condensed poetry. The poems themselves are brief as haiku, but dropped into the mind they expand like paper flowers in water or shot bullets."This copy is in very good condition with a dust jacket in good condition. There is a fair bit of wear to the dust jack, but otherwise it is intact. There are no obvious blemishes to the interior of the book.
