Synopsis

Seizing: Places (Ravir: Les Lieux) was awarded the Prix Mallarme in 2005, the first time that a Canadian had won this prestigious prize.

This is arguably Helene Dorion's most ambitious work to date, consisting of five sequences ('Seizing: Cities'; 'Seizing: Shadows'; 'Seizing: Mirrors; 'Seizing: Windows' and 'Seizing: Faces'). Although she has written plenty since its publication, there is something culminative about this book.

This bilingual French/English edition has an Introduction by Carcanet poet and Booker-longlisted novelist Patrick McGuinness, and an afterword by the author, both of which are invaluable to those encountering Dorion's work for the first time.
