Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. A best-of collection from one of Canadas most ambitious poets Problematica a scientific term used to describe species that defy classification. See unidentifiable. George Murray is a strange beast. Lauded as one of Canadas leading poets, his work has been published around the world, but here at home, he has never really fit in with his contemporaries. By turns archly formal and thoughtful, insouciant and hilarious, each of his six books seems intent on staking out its own identity, standing alone in stark contrast to all others. Yet, in this judicious selection of new and selected poems spanning Murrays 25-year career, we see threads and patterns emerge like fractals. From early narrative poems to lyrical explorations of the metaphysical to investigations of the colloquial and contemporary, Murrays work roams a landscape that includes everything from happiness to regret, love to loss, doubt to faith, anxiety to acceptance. This collection not only represents the best of Murrays earlier poems, but also surprises readers with a section of never-before-seen new work, revealing a life spent wrestling with what it means to arrive, live, and leave. Problematica is a considerable body of poetry from a mind that obsessively wanders the edges of thought and language, working to identify what boundaries may or may not exist. Bringing together the very best of Murray's poetry with an introduction by Adam Sol, a selection of poems from Murray's previous collections, as well as previously unpublished work and new work.
