Furious
DIGITAL VERSION ALSO AVAILABLE
Publication Date December 01, 1992
The poetry in Furious is charged with Erin Moure's characteristic energy and wit as she explores the limits of pure reason and the language of power. There is, too, a fresh and often celebratory look at love, and, in an unusual finale, The Acts, Moure challenges us to explore a feminist aesthetic: of thinking, of the page, of working life and the possibility of poetry.
Furious was the winner of the Governor General's Award for Poetry in 1988.
