A stunning new book of poems from the Griffin Poetry Prize-winning author ofLoop. A cell is a world within a world within a world. In this remarkable new collection, Anne Simpson finds form and inspiration in the cell - as it divides and multiplies, expanding beyond its borders. As these poems journey from the newly created realm of the opening through to the slow unwinding of the ending, Simpson illuminates what it means to be alive, here and now. Rich with the muscular craft, vibrant imagery, and extraordinary musicality for which her poetry is widely acclaimed, this collection sees Simpson continuing to "negotiate an ever-changing path between language and structure"(Vancouver Sun) - with astonishing results. It is a work of great vision from one of our most compelling poetic voices.

ANNE SIMPSON is the author of four books of poetry, Is (2011); Quick (2007), winner of the Pat Lowther Memorial Award; Loop (2003), winner of the Griffin Poetry Prize; and Light Falls Through You (2000), winner of the Gerald Lampert Memorial Prize and the Atlantic Poetry Prize. She has also written two novels, Falling (2008), longlisted for the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award and winner of the Dartmouth Award for Fiction, and Canterbury Beach (2001). Her book of essays, The Marram Grass: Poetry and Otherness (2009), delves into issues of poetry, art, and empathy. While her home is in Nova Scotia, she has been a writer-in-residence at many universities and libraries across Canada.
