PLUMSTUFF

Rolli (Charles Anderson) — Poetry / Contemporary Poetry / Illustrated

Book Description

The moon's a cool moscato and the sun a sauvignon.

A poet-robot. A chain-smoking seductress. A dying connoisseur. All of these characters and more make appearances in this strikingly original poetry collection from acclaimed Canadian writer and illustrator Rolli. PLUMSTUFF reinvents Rolli's 2010 debut collection Plum Stuff, gathering all the best poems from that volume alongside new work and drawings — a career-spanning selection from one of Canada's most distinctive and quotable poetic voices.

Ripe with Rolli's trademark economy, quotability and wit, these are poems to be gulped down like summer fruit. The collection showcases a poet who can pivot from surreal humour to genuine pathos in the space of a line break, whose illustrations and verses form a unified artistic vision that exists nowhere else in contemporary letters. PLUMSTUFF is an introduction to a world — Rolli's world — and once you enter, you may not want to leave.
