<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Poet and philosopher Jan Zwicky bears passionate witness to the leading edge of environmental cataclysm.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>The Long Walk carries a lifetime's force of meaning. A deeply beautiful book. Anne Michaels <p/><br>In The Long Walk, Jan Zwicky bears witness to environmental and cultural cataclysm. Both prophetic and acutely personal, these poems extend her previous meditations on colonial barbarism and ecocide, on spiritual catastrophe and transformation. The voice now penetrates the steepest darknesses; it possesses extraordinary reach and density. Zwicky is one of North America's finest poets, and in this book she gives us her most profound work to date.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Zwicky accomplishes a concordance of rhythm, internal rhyme and subtly linked imagery (e.g. continents, shapes, sea) that, in turn, enables the beloved to embody all the significance--all the strength and frailty, beauty and terror--of the world.-- "ARC Magazine"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Winner of the Governor General's Award for poetry and the Dorothy Livesay Prize, <b>Jan Zwicky</b> has published more than a dozen books of poetry and prose, including <i>Songs for Relinquishing the Earth</i>, <i>Forge</i><i>, </i> and <i>Wisdom & Metaphor. </i>She lives in Victoria, BC.</p>
