AUDIOBOOK
About
From the author of The Baudelaire Fractal, a poetry classic, with new work.
In 2004, boldly original poet Lisa Robertson published an audiobook, Rousseau's Boat, poems culled from years of notebooks that are, nevertheless, by no means autobiographical. In 2010, she expanded the work into a full-length audiobook, R's Boat. During the pandemic, she was drawn back into decades of journals to shape Boat. These poems bring fresh vehemence to Robertson's ongoing examination of the changing shape of feminism, the male-dominated philosophical tradition, the daily forms of discourse, and the possibilities of language itself.
