Aprašymas

sublime (adjective) of such excellence, grandeur, or beauty as to inspire great admiration or awe. sublime (verb) (Chemistry): (Of a solid substance) to change directly into vapor when heated, typically forming a solid deposit again on cooling. In Sublime: Poems for Vanishing Ice, poets from across Turtle Island explore what it means to enter into conversation with ice. The poems in Yvonne Blomer's third, water-focused anthology exemplify sublime as both verb and adjective: these are poems that skate, drink, stomp, crush and dive. In poems that range from street hockey, to snow angels, to meltwater, poets write to the ever-changing ways of ice. Other poems grapple with fires that melt permafrost and rising temperatures that fracture and erode lives. In the poems, fissures form into ever-expanding crevasses, and animals suffer because of humanity's negative impact on Earth's most ancient of water systems: ice. Sublime: Poems for Vanishing Ice features poems by Governor General Award winners, Poet Laureates in cities across Canada, and other important voices for our time and place in history.
