This bilingual collection of poems offers a surreal perspective on urban experience, showcasing Nicole Brossard's distinctive poetic style. Known for her elliptical and materially grounded poetics, Brossard creates an intimate series of poems loosely inspired by urban life. The poems evoke a poignant distillation of postmodern urban experiences, encompassing cultural and gendered histories of violence and beauty, as well as struggles for survival and intimacy. Through vivid imagery and sensory details, the poems capture the emotional and ecological surroundings of each city and its inhabitants. The cities portrayed in Brossard's poems feel surreal, inhabited by survivors of "misfortunes" who reside in urban landscapes adorned with "gleaming debris" and "bridges, ghats, rivers in a time of peace and torture." These poems gesture towards a transformed social context and a relentless pursuit to meet the horizon, even after it has faded into the distance.
