Sze, Gillian, 1985-

The anatomy of clay : poems / Gillian Sze. - Toronto : ECW Press/Misfit, c2011. - 101 pages ; 22 cm.

Taking off from the myth of human creation, this poetic collection explores the individual as a sentient mystery. The first section examines overlooked moments with urban characters? the woman on the bus, a neighbor talking to plants, or the girl smoking after a storm. The second section takes a confessional turn towards the author?s inner life. At times reflective, instructional, playful, or strange, exception is found in the ineffable distinctions between people, selves, objects, and histories.
