Book Synopsis

Annette Lapointe''s poetry collection SWIM: INTO THE NORTH''S BLUE EYE explores the gothic anxieties and bodily discomforts of constant travel. Some of its journeys are global, but many are more regionally oriented: from one prairie city to another, between small towns, from city to cottage country, from prairie to coast.

The collection also follows Lapointe''s family migrations around western Canada, particularly into fly-in communities of northern Saskatchewan in the 1960s and 70s. Those settlements, which make every trip monumental, provide a frame for years of restlessness and desire, and for meditations on the still world and its swarming occupants.
