as if
Blodgett's visceral musings explore the intertwining connection between the human and the natural worlds.
Apostrophes VII
Apostrophe 1. Rhet. A figure of speech, by which a speaker or writer suddenly stops in his discourse, and turns to address pointedly some person or thing, either present or absent; an exclamatory address. (OED) Renowned poet E.D. Blodgett extends his lyrical meditations to the limits of human knowing in Apostrophes VII: Sleep, You, a Tree. By remaining true to the ancient trope of direct address, he is able to sustain the merest suggestion of the infinite complexity of the natural world beyond "You," and thereby impress his breathtaking vision. Via sumptuous imagery commanded by musical lines and understated language, readers are invited to partake in the greatest marvels that happen to be all around us, and accessible to us, every day.
Apostrophes VIII
The late sun falls slowly into the afternoon of your eyes, and there it pauses as one might pause to take a breath —from “Lost” Nothing Is But You and I, the breathtaking final volume in the Apostrophes series, reveals poet E.D. Blodgett at his most accomplished. Lyrical grace meets exquisite technique as Blodgett fathoms intimacy, knowledge, and being. The poems allow us to listen to one side of an intimate conversation; yet despite this inward focus, the speaker looks up and out at a larger world, inviting us into contemplations of loss, time, memory, and the ineffable other.
An Ark of Koans
An Ark of Koans is a meditation on the mystery of what happens at the moment it happens. Although it takes animals as its threshold, animals only serve as innocent guides toward fathoming, if not understanding, events as small, inconceivable miracles.
Apostrophes VI
E.D. Blodgett, winner of the Governor General's Award for Poetry, returns to Apostrophes with a music passing through his eyes. His latest collection, open the grass, brings glimpses into eternity, visions of a translucent muse trickling through fingers, and places of silence, and darkness, and epiphany. Blodgett's poetry has the ability to penetrate the mundane with a profound aesthetic sense. His spare, strong words kick up pleasure in the eye and unforeseen recognition. These sixty-six poems open the natural world to embrace human passage.
Apostrophes IV
Governor-General's award-winning poet E.D. Blodgett continues his series of meditations on love, living, and loss. This intelligent collection offers more of Blodgett's lush imagery and deep questioning within the apostrophe form. A lovely offering from one of Canada's leading writers.
Songs for Dead Children
Timeless and powerful poems contemplating eternity, grief and love in a reflective and quiet way.
Walking Into God
E.D. Blodgett's final volume of poems, Walking Into God, is the culmination of the poet's lifelong devotion to a poetry and poetics of the sacred. The poems in this volume present as a single long poem that explores the processes of walking, moving, changing, and evolving within a unified field.
Apostrophes II
These poems flow from reflection on the most fundamental issue in modern and contemporary thought: if, as our European-cultured inheritance teaches, the criterion of truth and knowledge is an interior feeling of certainty, how can we be sure the world exists independently of our act of knowing it? In the great tradition of the Romantic philosophers and poets, Blodgett answers "we cannot." To perceive is to create - and more: it is to speak, to shape with language.
Poems for a Small Park
Reflecting Edmonton's unique multicultural ambience, E. D. Blodgett wrote these poems in English and French, and had several translated into Cree, Michif, Chinese, and Ukranian. The powerful images and thoughtful metaphors in these short lyrics show readers the connections between nature, even within city limits, and the sublime, especially in the overwhelming silence we can sense outdoors--if we pay attention.
