Visible Living: Poems Selected and New

Visible Living: Poems Selected and New presents a definitive selection of the best of Marya Fiamengo's work, ranging from her early writing to a large number of recent, previously unpublished verse. It enables readers to trace the development of Fiamengo's voice and concerns, from early work based on exploration of myth, to engagements with historical and political realities, to feminist pieces, to later elegies, to lyrics of highly personal statement on mortality and the divine, and confirms her achievement and status in the highest rank of Canadian poets."These poems are our music; hers is a strong, sure voice whose echoes go back sixty years, whose sound and story are our present world. All I can do is offer praise."— Patrick Lane
