Continuations Douglas Barbour Sheila E. Murphy �The strength of this book is in its quick-change artistry, the sensation of flux that is continuous, and capable at any moment of erupting into epiphany or surprise.��Roo Borson Across great distances and a panorama shaped by words, poets Douglas Barbour and Sheila Murphy began writing in collaboration. Tapped to technology�s dance across paper, with thoughts like bright colours coursing across screens, Continuations emerged as the product of a new creator, a �third individual,� who writes differently from either poet. Words shapeshifted and poets transformed, Continuations is an intriguing addition to the growing field of collaborative poetry in North American literature. 116 pages � Essay on collaboration 0-88864-463-9 � 5.25'' x 9'' � $19.95CDN � 19.95US (T) � paper CuRRents Series � Literature/Poetry Douglas Barbour and Sheila E.
