Publisher Description

Longlisted for the Pat Lowther Memorial Award.

From the author of The Baudelaire Fractal, a poetry classic, with new work.

In 2004, boldly original poet Lisa Robertson published a chapbook, Rousseau’s Boat, poems culled from years of notebooks that are, nevertheless, by no means autobiographical. In 2010, she expanded the work into a full-length book, R’s Boat. During the pandemic, she was drawn back into decades of journals to shape Boat.

These poems bring fresh vehemence to Robertson’s ongoing examination of the changing shape of feminism, the male-dominated philosophical tradition, the daily forms of discourse, and the possibilities of language itself.

The poems examine feminism, discourse, the body, and poetry itself through sumptuous, seductive language.
