Kids in Triage By Kilby Smith-McGregor Paperback 1928088120 9781928088127 Kids in Triage From the winner of the 2010 RBC Bronwen Wallace Award comes a remarkable debut poetry collection. In a culture that is at once desensitized by the media while it fetishizes fear and outrage, how can we talk about emergencies, both public and private in a way that still communicates their horrors, in a way that still matters? Kilby Smith McGregor answers this question with a dizzying range of voices animated by desire, humour, pleasure and grief. This is poetry that strikes a balance between baroque elegance and haunting understatement. In it we witness the horror of spontaneous human combustion, as well as the awkwardness of swimming lessons; the precision of code breaking, as well as the disorder of hard drinking. Effortlessly combining the languages of myth, medicine and metaphysics, Kids in Triage is rich in vivid language and arresting images, a multi faceted feast for the imagination.

Kids in treehouse coloring page If I had to pick a favorite it would be CHAPTER II THE POOL OF TEARS mainly because I think I actually got it Other ones I liked include WAKE UP REMEMBERING ORANGES EDISON S DREAM MATCHBOOK AMNIOTIC and MORE HEAT THAN LIGHT The others just went woosh straight over my head I ll come back to the collection later and have another go 80 I admire writers that can make me think or question something in our society The craft of sitting down and turning a careful phrase must take time to create And the time to sit down and read that phrase and ponder it takes time as well No doubt Smith McGregor must have taken time to reflect and write these phrases for her poetry They are deep sharp and introspective And I feel guilty taking my time reading this book but I wanted to give each phrase careful consideration and reflection So for the past 5 months I have read and re read this book several times when I found myself a few moments solitude And I found the experience worthwhile.http tinyurl.com hpv84lh 80
