WHARTON, Calvin. The Song Collides. Vancouver: Anvil Press, 2011. First Edition. Trade paperback. 209x138mm. 79pp. New.

The Song Collides takes the reader on a highly personal and internal metaphysical investigation into the state of the natural world -- and then back via more lyrical and local enquiries that speak to each and every one of us. Life as an exchange: each of us takes in the world and then expresses it for ourselves and for others. This is a simultaneous and nearly imperceptible process that lasts, we hope, at least until the exit.
