Title Beautiful Razor: Love Poems and Other Lies
Creator Hunter, Al
Contributor Irving K. Barber Learning Centre
Date Issued 2013
Description Webcast sponsored by the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre as part of the Robson Reading Series. “In this fluid collection we enter a galactic expanse where absence, distance and fire repel and attract love-bodies in a winged-whirl of magnetic mad flight. Loss, emptiness, space, desire, blood, memory; all devour themselves in the combustions of love without self. The you/other may be interchangeable, never static or frozen or attainable. In these sharp-beaked bird-worlds there is “no going back” – at best, bodies meet only “flame to flame,” mutable and razor-like in feathery, impermanent forms. I find Hunter’s new work a rare melding of Blues, Kabbalah, and personal transcendence– a piercing, hard-won angelic love mantra. A blazing tour de force!” - Juan Felipe Herrera, California Poet Laureate “What lies here are the vagaries of a heart wounded, shattered, and redeemed by love. Such generosity of spirit deserves acclaim. A bravura work.” - Richard Wagamese, author of Indian Horse
