The poetic odyssey of The Hardness of Matter and Water, which QuÉbÉcois poet Pierre Nepveu began more than four decades ago, is a captivating journey. Through a series of four prose poems, his anonymous protagonist embarks on a trek from the heart of present-day Montreal to its southwestern edges, where the metropolis originated centuries ago and where its memories are now etched into the young grass. As he walks, questioning his sense of belonging, social unease, and mortality, Nepveu leads readers on a sweeping exploration of history, geography, metaphysics, and speculation.
The protagonist's journey takes him through a diverse range of landscapes, from the bustling city streets to the serene outskirts. Along the way, he encounters various characters and experiences, each contributing to his introspection and understanding of the world. The prose poems are interspersed with philosophical musings and reflections on the nature of existence, offering readers a deep and thought-provoking exploration of the human condition.
Through his poetic language and vivid imagery, Nepveu transports readers to different eras and places, allowing them to witness the evolution of society and the human experience. The Hardness of Matter and Water is a testament to the power of poetry to transcend time and space, offering a unique and immersive perspective on the world.
