Book Description
Margaret Atwood presents a selection of poetry by Gwendolyn MacEwen, who first met Atwood in a Toronto coffee shop. MacEwen's poetry is by turns playful, extravagant, melancholy, daring and profound. Her work takes its inspiration from subjects as hard-hitting as the Hiroshima bombing and as humble as the peanut butter sandwich. It springs from a deep involvement with self and world.

Book Description
"MacEwen described what she set out to achieve as a "sort of powerful poetic mad half-abandoned prose somewhere between [Kenneth] Patchen and Virginia Woolf." Set in a medieval past that has distinctly modern overtones, the novel is about Julian, a young man who believes he is Christ. Wandering the countryside in a horse-drawn wagon, Julian learns "to suspend logic like a whale on a thread." He becomes a master of alchemy, performing "miracles" like curing the mad and changing water into wine. When his rapt audiences begin to lose faith, Julian must pay with his life. MacEwen skillfully implies a relationship between alchemy, miracles and belief, and the art forms she is engaged in herself, poetry and prose. What is the price the writer-magician must pay to engender belief in her audience? Is something true merely because we believe it? With an afterword by the author's sister."--Jacket
