In it, she continues her extraordinary phenomenological investigation of lived experience, addressing with increasing urgency issues of profound philosophical and political importance such as consumerism, privilege, and our ability to respond to the suffering of others. Her voice combines great metaphorical brilliance with the depth one expects of a much older writer. Her poems will remind readers by turns of Rilke and Heine: urgent, sorrowing, ecstatic. This is an important book by one of Canada's finest young poets.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Not because it is sufficient, but because\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewe subsist on light, and what doesn't \u003cbr\u003ecry out to be noticed?
