<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>The final chapter oin a body of cut-and-paste work that is difficult to categorize but has sometimes been referred to as graphic poetry.</b><p>Culled from decades of hunting and gathering in the underground, Ahlers has filled many binders to overflowing. <i>Swan Song</i> revisits the black and white photocopier esthetic of her genre-bending and influential book <i>Temper, Temper</i> and its sequel <i>Fatal Distraction</i>, finally completing this groundbreaking trilogy. Part art book, part zine collection, part diary, part graphic novel, but all Sonja Ahlers, we finally have closure from an artist who continues to push the boundaries of what a book can be.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Ahlers continues to explore the possibilities of a genre that she invented and, occasionally, masters. When Ahlers gets it right, form and content merge to create a new print medium singularly capable of expressing the fragmented random totality of 21st century life. --Broken Pencil-- "Broken Pencil"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Sonja Ahlers</b> is a visual artist and poet from Victoria, BC. Her books are hard to classify and can be found in several different sections of the library. 1994's <i>A Wandering Eye</i> was the first of many self-published books that circulated mainly through the underground "penpal" network of punk rock and Riot grrrl zines. Ahlers attracted national attention with <i>Temper, Temper</i>, published by Insomniac Press in 1998, followed by <i>Fatal Distraction</i> in 2004. In 2010, Drawn & Quarterly published <i>The Selves</i>. Ahlers' art has been exhibited across Canada, as well as in the United States, Japan, and Australia.
