Technicolored
$19.95
Technicolored explores the nature of the 20th-century icon, both filmic and poetic. Unspooling like a lost canister of film, this book offers fresh takes on Alfred Hitchcock and Orson Welles, Jean-Luc Godard and Brigitte Bardot, Ava Gardner and Rita Hayworth, Béla Lugosi, alongside William Carlos Williams, Ezra Pound and Frank O’Hara. It is hard to believe this is a first book of poetry, not only because these poems have appeared in virtually every journal in the country, but also because they have a precision of tone and image characteristic of older, more seasoned poets. Readers will enjoy revisiting their favourite screen idols and poetic staples while being introduced to a new voice on the Canadian literary scene that is sure to dazzle us as he too is exposed on the black and white of the page.
“His literary daring is the fresh heart of this gripping poetry which rolls over you like a warm evocation of life; and life that is being experienced for the first time . . . a wave, like a violin’s scream of beauty.” —Austin Clarke
Jason Guriel’s poems have appeared in The Antigonish Review, Arc Poetry Magazine, Contemporary Verse 2, The Dalhousie Review, Exile: The Literary Quarterly, The Fiddlehead, Grain Magazine, The Malahat Review, and PRISM International.
