Book Synopsis

Set against a break-up with God, insomniac nights, and smoke-filled skies, aboutness is by turns wry, performative, and sober. Threads of self-making are juxtaposed with an ever-unfolding present exposing the limits and possibilities of convergence. Haunted by the ghost of the text not realized, this is poetry that refuses to stand still.



Trade Review

"Laffan's poems are fragmented and metatexual, existing in a variety of forms ... the book is one to read, and reread infinitely." Montreal Review of Books
