About the Book

Subduction Zone is a book of meditations on empire -- the desires and agendas of empire, and empire's detritus. From a sweeping panorama of imperial landscapes both classical and modern, it carries us into the troubled natural beauty of the world. Its third and final sequence brings Canadians home, to the manifestations of global technocracy in northwest BC.Whether contemplating rain forests in the Visayan Islands or Edward Burtynsky's photographs, these poems gaze unflinchingly at the exploitation and upheaval that define several millennia of global politics. Their questions are both urgent and intricate. Who are we individually, collectively, in this era of looming ecological collapse? How do we acknowledge the blood on our hands yet bear witness to the beauty that remains? Subduction Zone is a collection of great integrity and ambition: trenchant, political, shot through with ravishing eroticism and tenderness. Emily McGiffin is poised to become one of the major voices in Canadian poetry.

About the Author :
During the five years that Emily McGiffin lived in northwest BC, she became proficient in the fine art of firewood splitting. She holds an MSc from the University of London and has worked and studied in Italy, Sierra Leone and the Philippines. Her poetry, essays, reviews and journalistic articles, widely published in magazines across Canada, have most recently appeared in Arc Poetry Magazine and Contemporary Verse 2. Between Dusk and Night, her first poetry collection, was a finalist for the Raymond Souster Award and the Canadian Authors' Association Poetry Prize. She currently lives in Toronto where she is a PhD student at York University.

Review :
Citation These deeply resonant poems are perceptive, visceral, and steeped in lyrical wisdom. There is heart-seeing here, expressed with an authentic strength and a luminous eloquence. The vision here is one aesthetically grounded in the world, a world that in turn is replenished by these poems, by this poet's beautifully cadenced work. - Bronwen Wallace Award jury
