Interrobang

Mary Dalton

The spirit of the interrobang, a punctuation mark merging the
questioning and
the exclamatory, informs Mary DaltonrCOs compelling investigations of home >> and identity in this, her sixth poetry collectionrCoin extraordinary poems >> of
aging; of despised plants once revered; of rites and sites of community
abandoned. The rCLflared mouthrCY of DaltonrCOs acclaimed musicality gives >> voice to lost souls and a lost sense of the earth. The collectionrCOs
unique
mix of bleakness and beauty is also reflected in various riddle and
riddle-like series with their ambiguity, open-endedness, playfulness,
and
unexpected linguistic shifts. Interrobang movingly fuses notions of
exploration rCoof glancing at things slantrCowith an emotional range that
feels new and visionary. This is a steely, brilliant book from a major
Canadian poet.
