Description
Why, it's a whale of a book! Here comes Moby Jane – again! Originally published in 1987 and long out of print, Moby Jane contains ten years' worth of Gilbert, poem by poem, that literally spill out over its edges – the book begins on the front cover and ends on the back! Eli Mandel calls Gilbert 'an extraordinary, intelligent experimentalist,' and Coach House has just gotten wind that this classic tome has been chosen for National Poetry Month 2004 as one of the ten all-time must-read books of Canadian poetry.
